In German news, the U16 team advanced to the semi-finals of the JTC after a very tight 3-2 win over The Netherlands. A tough Spain team awaits them. Jakob Heinen has now slipped to #2 U16 in Germany, and lost his singles to #25 Guus Dircx in straight sets, but was able to win in doubles. He's hit a bit of a lull right now. After being ranked in the top 100 earlier in the year, he's slipped to #141.

Gunter Piel is advancing nicely. He got his first ever win, winning in Benicarlo a couple of weeks back. He followed it up with a semi-final finish seen below.



It was really weird. All Germans, all unseeded, and all 14 years old. The Germans will hopefully start posing a threat the Sri Lanka in a few years. With this performance, Piel should be ranked around #700 when the next rankings come out.
