17 yo. Dev Javia (#123), second seed emerges winner at the G3 Pune tournament, this week.

His results:

R1 Nithilan Eric (IND,2005) 6-2 6-1
R2 Aditya Vishal Balsekar (IND,968) 6-2 6-3
QF Arnav Pathange (IND,1771) 6-0 7-6
SF [3] Rotislav Gaslinger (KAZ,144) 6-4 6-1
F Vitek Horak (CZE,543) 5-7 6-3 6-3

On the girls side, 14 yo. Vaishnavi Adkar (#1035) also had a great run.

R1 Yu-Yun Li (TPE,246) 6-2 4-6 7-6
R2 Qianyu Liu (CHN,342) 5-7 6-3 6-1
QF Sandeepti Singh Rao (IND,403) 6-4 4-6 7-6
SF Tianmi Mi (CHN,528) 3-6 2-6

[sameerph]

Yes, very good performance by Dev Javia to win back to back tournaments, this week was against a decent level performance. With that he will enter top 100 in the ITF junior rankings. With 2001 borns dropping out, he is most likely to make it to the main draw of Australian open juniors now.

[sameerph]

Our disastrous show on junior circuit continues. In the 3 weeks of higher level junior circuit at home (2 grade 2's and a grade 3), not even 1 player reached SF in any of the 3 weeks. There were the days a few years ago when we used to dominate these tournaments. Are the best juniors in the country simply skipping these tournaments or our talent pool at this age group has gone down so much ?
