BC Junior Hardcourt | This provincial-wide tennis tournament was held this week at the Town Centre tennis courts. This tournament, which began on Monday, was organized by Tennis BC. A couple of our juniors from our club made the trophy rounds. Martin Walenczykiewicz of Port Coquitlam beat out Lucas Palovic of West Vancouver for the boys' U18 singles crown. He defeated his opponent easily with a score of 6-1, 6-3. Later Walenczykiewicz teamed up with another of our club junior, 16 year old Tyron Wheatley of Coquitlam, to contest in the boys' U18 doubles final against Harvin Johal of Surrey and Rodaan Rabang of Delta. The first set in the doubles final slipped away quickly for our doubles team. They began the second set strongly, moving up to a 5-3 lead. But Johal and Rabang made a late surged and came back to take the second set and match with a 6-1, 7-5 score-line. Wheatley faced Johal in his first round boys' U16 match on Monday and lost 6-0, 6-1. Johal went on to take the title, beating out the number two and three seeds impressively along the way.Another two of our club juniors, playing in their first tournament, lost in their first round matches. Fourteen year old Mark Lintott of Port Moody lost 6-1, 6-1 to Matthew Findlay of North Vancouver in the boys' U16 singles event. Lintott also contested in the consolation draw winning one of his two matches. In the other boys' U16 singles match, 15 year old Ivan Leonov, who is from Burnaby, lost a tough 3 sets match. He lost 5-7, 6-1, 3-6 to Michael Budd of West Vancouver. In his consolation round he faced Tao Gaede of Kelowna. Again another 3 set lost for Leonov, this time it's a close 7-5, 4-6, 5-7 score.
