The Championships, Wimbledon 2005 -Junior Roundup

The Championships, Wimbledon 2005 - Junior Roundup
With fully half the boys quarterfinalists at Junior Wimbledon from the U.S., it's quite surprising that one of them isn't Sam Querrey, who had a very tough draw and lost today to French Open Jr. Champion Marin Cilic. The story on the match from Wimbledon.org is a good one.

The wrapup story (link at top of post) makes reference to Timothy Reilly, not Neilly, but I'm assuming that's not ignorance, just a typo. Neilly, the reigning Orange Bowl champion, is always dangerous. Donald Young's next opponent is French Open finalist Antal Van Der Duim of the Netherlands, and Americans Jesse Levine and Tim Smyczek resume their rivalry, guaranteeing a U.S. semifinalist. Levine won both their 2004 ITF matches in straight sets.

Another interesting tidbit from Junior Wimbledon--after the first round of boys doubles a grand total of one of the eight seeded teams remain.
