Junior Roland Garros
The young players are a week ahead, so this was the main event while everyone else was off. Ritwik Dudwadkar was seeded 9th, as a number of players tend to not participate at this level. It was one of his best showings of the year, as it turned out. He won a couple of very tight doubles matches to reach the quarterfinals, and got to the third round in singles. There he met up with Ruben Piazzola(CHE), the world no. 6 in juniors and a clay specialist. Dudwadkar almost pulled the upset, falling 6-7(7), 7-5, 6-2 against a clearly superior player on the dirt.
Coming Up ...
The pros take their turn at RG next. The big question is whether Mooljee's surge will continue, or can Caratti find his game in time? If he doesn't, his precipitous fall will continue.
