Weeks 31-38: Year 301
Victor Zhirov (#451):
Zhirov reached the singles semifinals of a JG4 in Lisbon and the 2nd round of a JG4 in Esch, jumping from 630th to 453rd in the Junior World. Rankings are not an issue now for Zhirov, so he is focusing on just playing enough tournaments to keep his form up in order to have as productive practice as possible.
Paul Kruekel (#42):
Kreukel entered two JG2s in this timespan, and finished second in both tournaments, notching a win in doubles as well. Kreukel then entered the Junior US Open, hoping to build on his Round of 16 finish at the French, but lost a rough 3-setter in a tossup match in the first round to Vincent Caccini (25th).
