Now in its 30th year on the Junior Tour, the Bolton International has developed a high prestige, having played host over the years to some of the biggest names in tennis such as Andy Murray, Emma Raducanu, and Coco Gauff.
On one side of the court stood Sakino Miyazawa, the Tour's Overseas Player of the Year in , who advanced to the final without dropping a set all week. Facing her was compatriot Shina Okuyama , who made an impressive run from the qualifying draw, defeating several top seeds along the way, including 13, 2, and 7. Ultimately, Miyazawa proved stronger, claiming the trophy with a decisive victory. Meanwhile, Mario Vukovic was in a dominant mood throughout the week, conceding very few games.
Richard Joyner, the Tournament Director, believes it was the best edition the Bolton Junior International has seen despite its rich history. The numbers speak for themselves. How did you get your start in tennis? Well, when I was nine months old, I started to walk and my dad put a racket in my hand and let me walk through this tennis court we had behind our house.
There's a video online about it and then after six or seven months my dad wanted me to, at one-and-a-half years old, roll the balls a bit and swing with the racquet. So I started some practice for tennis but then at four, I started to practice two times a day for the entire week.
And then it just kept going like that. Sometimes three practices during the day. So, the schedule was always a bit tough, but maybe that's why I'm here. Okay, so I guess you played a lot of junior tournaments in Bosnia and then moved around Europe? Yes, a lot⦠a lot!! My first-ever tournament was in Croatia. I was playing Under 8 in Bosnia and in Croatia. I was also first in Croatia Under 10 and Under I started to move across Europe to play Tennis Europe Under 12s. What's your home city?
