Thrilling Conclusion to Asian 14&U Grade A Tournament in Selangor, Malaysia
The Asian 14&U Grade A Tournament, held in Selangor, Malaysia, from August 5-10, ended with a series of electrifying finals, showcasing the immense talent nurtured under the ATF’s initiatives. The event featured two ATF teams from South and Southeast Asia. It is ATF’s commitment to enhance participation and player development at Grade A events.
In the boys’ singles final, Southeast Asia’s Ethan Jake Frans from Indonesia emerged champion after a gripping three-set battle against India’s Varad Undre. Frans triumphed 4-6, 6-3, 6-1, securing memorable win.
The girls’ singles final saw a fierce contest between Thailand’s Chotirin Kaewka and Indonesia’s Gwen Emily Kurniawan. Kaewka claimed the title with a convincing 6-3, 6-1 win.
The doubles category was equally exciting, with the ATF South Asian team dominating. In the boys’ doubles, India’s Yashwin Dahiya and Vivaan Bidsaria clinched the championship, while Nepal’s Shivali Gurung and Sa Ya Maula emerged as the girls’ doubles champions.
This tournament served as a significant milestone for the winners. Players including Ethan Jake Frans, Yashwin Dahiya, Shivali Gurung, Gwen Emily Kurniawan and Chotirin Kaewka were also the part of the ITF-ATF Regional Training Camp held in Malaysia from July 30 to August 3. The camp provided a crucial platform for these young athletes to refine their skills, gain valuable insights from top coaches, and prepare for high-stakes competition.
The winners and runners-up from this Grade A event have advanced to the Asian Junior Championship, scheduled to be held in Cambodia this September.
Congratulations to the champions and best wishes to the all participants as they continue their journey in tennis.
