The European Summer Cups also serve as qualifiers for the World Juniors (U14) and Davis Cup (U16). As the World Juniors takes place in early August, the under 14 Summer Cup qualifying/finals take place over the next week (the other age groups are in late July).
The U14 team of Kamran Arif, Haqim Kamal and Myles Kiely are only seeded 3 in their qualifying group with two to go though. Tomorrow they take on Norway
A nice 3-0 win for the under 14 boys against Norway (Myles won 6-2 7-5, Haqim 6-3 6-3 and Kamran/Myles 6-4 6-2). Tomorrow they take on top qualifying seeds Slovakia (with 2 top 20 ranked players) with the winners qualifying for the finals
Unsurprisingly Slovakia proved too strong, winning 3-0 (Myles lost 3-6 6-2 6-1. Haqim 6-3 7-6(5), then Haqim/Kamran lost the doubles via a match tiebreak). They play Denmark tomorrow for third place in the group.
The under 14 boys finished third in their group after a 3-0 win against Denmark (singles wins for Myles and Kamran followed by doubles success for Haqim/Myles)
