| Valent and Widjaja win junior titles Britain's Anne Keothavong reached the girl's semis Roman Valent of Switzerland, the 10th seed, won the boy's singles title at Wimbledon on Sunday defeating second seed Gilles Muller of Luxembourg 3-6 7-5 6-3 in the final. Valent, on his 18th birthday, was a set and a break down, but turned the match around with two breaks late in the second set. After a break for rain, he went on to clinch the title. The girl's singles final went to Angelique Widjaja of Indonesia, who beat Marat Safin's sister Dinara Safina 6-4 0-6 7-5. The match had begun on Saturday, but rain intervened with Widjaja, the number eight seed, 3-2 behind. Widaja made the breakthrough when the 15-year-old Safina served two double faults to lose her serve. The second set was all Safina and she won it without losing a game to set up the finale. Widjaja broke first, and served for the match at 5-4 only to lose her own serve. But the 16-year-old Indonesian immediately broke again and this time served out. |
