MOST/STARNBERG, September 15, 2024
Tea Kovacevic of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Stan Put of the Netherlands have been crowned as Europe’s new 14 & Under champions, beating Jana Kovackova from the Czech Republic and Briton Scott Watson respectively in Sunday’s singles finals in Most, Czechia.
Kovacevic has become the first girl from Bosnia and Herzegovina ever to win a European Junior title. Compatriot Damir Dzumhur won the Boys’ 18 & Under event in 2010. The win gives Kovacevic a tour-leading 10th title of the season. She has won four 14 & Under, and five 16 & Under titles and was a member of the ITF/Tennis Europe Touring Team during the summer.
Put has become the second Dutch winner of the boys’ title in three years (following Thijs Boogaard in 2022). The win marks his third singles title of the season, following victories in Helsinki and Milan.
