2022 European Junior
Championships - 18 and Under
It is my pleasure to welcome you to this special
jubilee edition of the European Junior Championships,
which are being held in the beautiful
surroundings of Klosters for a 25th time.
The Championships are a highlight of the Junior
Tour, and since the first edition in 1976 have seen
participation from many of the legends of European
tennis, with twelve former world #1s featuring
amongst the previous champions of the
tournament.
Indeed, in 1994, the first year that the competition
was held in Klosters, we saw victories for two
future legends of the game, as Martina Hingis
and Carlos Moya lifted the singles trophies.
Tennis Europe is proud of the long-standing
cooperation with the organisers here at Tennis
Klosters. This is a unique and popular stop on
the circuit for players and coaches alike, one that
many players recall fondly years into their professional
careers. I would 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.
Swiss Tennis has a long history of organising some
of our most prestigious events, and I would like to
express our thanks to them for the continued commitment
to this most treasured of tournaments.
I’d also like to wish the best of luck to all players.
I hope that this event will be a successful, educational
and – most importantly – a fun experience
for you!
Finally, I would like to greet all of those
who come to visit the event. Whether you
are here as a participant, a coach, or as
a supporter of junior tennis, I hope that
you enjoy an unforgettable tournament.
