Grusswort des Präsidenten von Tennis Europe
President’s Message
It is my pleasure to welcome you all to the 37th edition
of the European Junior Championships (18 and
Under), which are being held for a 16th time in
Klosters.
The European Junior Championships are a highlight of the Tennis Europe
Junior Tour, and over the years have seen participation from the legends
of European tennis.
Top players to have competed here in Klosters include the likes of Roger
Federer and Tomas Berdych, with four former world #1s featuring
amongst the previous winners of the singles title.
Swiss Tennis has a long history of organising some of our most prestigious
events, and I would like to express our thanks for the continued
commitment to this most treasured of tournaments.
This is a very unique and welcome stop on the circuit for players and
coaches alike, and I would also like to thank the club, the town of
Klosters, and the many generous local sponsors and volunteers
without whom this event would not be possible. Your support is
greatly appreciated year after year.
I’d also like to wish the best of luck to the players. I hope that this event
will be a successful, educational and – most importantly – a fun experience
for you!
Finally, I would like to thank all of those who have come to visit the
event. Whether you are here as a participant or as a supporter of junior
tennis, I wish you all a memorable week of tennis.
Jacques Dupré
President, Tennis Europe
