Night Market Kid Chun-Hsin Tseng, undefeated in 14 junior slam singles, is winner of the junior channel slam.

ITF junior world number one 16 year old Chun-Hsin has won the junior channel slam defeating Jack Draper of GB 6-1 6-7 6-4 in the Wimbledon junior singles event. It was a pretty hard contested junior final, the intensity of these two young players was not less than senior players playing a big final. Court no 1 was packed by the British crowd to cheer for their player Draper roaring for every point he won and cheering on CH’s df’s and errors. This is the first set CH has dropped in his last 14 junior slam matches. If it is relevant, Chun-Hsin in 5’9’’, Jack is 6’2’’. CH has a great fh ROS with lots of spin and pace, he is a point constructor. His serve is not very powerful, he had a lot of difficulty holding it in the third set against the big wing span of the tall Draper. At 4-4, after breaking back, Draper lost the plot, made three mistakes and a double fault to lose his serve. CH was down 0-30 serving for it but came back with some angled forehands that didn’t seem possible for his age. MP was a CH ace.

Serena's coach Patrick M was watching this match by the way. While the mens final is taking place over on cc.

CH has made the last three junior slams finals losing to Sebastian Korda son of Petr Korda in the AO boys final. CH came back at the French to beat Korda in the French semi and Baez in the final. Now he is back to back Wimbledon and French junior champion.

I know that Stefan Edberg has won the Junior Grand Slam in 1983. But I don’t know how many other juniors have won the junior channel slam.

Not too bad.

Chun-Hsin is very good at rallying.

Better eat more nutritious food now and put on some more muscle, mass and another inch or two. I hope that fully filled out he ends up 5'11. Will not be a big server, but his serve is not inherently weak, he can be a smart server like Federer, maximise his service efficacy, disguise, power and placement so that in the pros his service game is an overall weapon.

Jack Draper didn't roar on every error made by Tseng, he's too classy for that, and in fact gave the winner a congratulatory hug at the end.

Tseng is actually the tenth player to win the boys' singles title at both the French Open and Wimbledon in the same year. The first was the American Butch Buchholz in 1958. The same feat was most recently achieved in 2004 by Gaël Monfils.

Can he please sub in for Anderson?

Thanks, I didn't know Monfils had done it.

Too small for the pros, Draper has more upside.

Thanks for sharing. I slept through the whole afternoon.

Chun-Hsin's English name is Jason.

C-H in Mandarin sounds like Jason.

The reason why Patrick Mourataglou was watching Tseng's final at Wimbledon, and at the French Open is because Chun-Hsin/Jason has been training at his academy. Patrick is also watching Cori Gauff, also a Mourataglou academy junior. Quite interesting. The guy is smart and insightful as a tennis analyst. If he sees something in these two, watch out.

The Mourataglou boys and girls have been in the last 5 junior slam finals and won three.

Jason Chun Hsin got to train with Mischa Z and Alize Cornet at the academy.

Dad travels with Chun-Hsin. Mum and his brothers and sisters mind the stall back home. Tseng’s folks work from morning to night making by hand and selling their candied fruits for 35 Taiwan dollars a stick (like a US dollar each). When CH is home, he has to pitch in and work too.

They aren’t well off. Training alone costs US 130,000 per year. They are depending on sponsorship and private funding atm, since juniors doesn’t pay anything.

Monfils was going for the full Monty CYGS at USO but fell three matches short, losing to Troicki in 3R.

Wang Xin and Wang Xinyu from CHN also scored Wimbledon SF each and win dubs together.
Future is bright for East Asian.

Wu Yibing (CHN) won USO'17 Boys title too.

Tseng C-H has far surpassed countryman Rendy Lu's junior results. Lu has gone on to a record haul of Challenger titles in his long career and made Wimby'10 QFs but his ATP career has been limited to a career high #33 and one ATP250 final despite having 7 wins over top 10 players.

The Japanese media dubbed Nishikori's development as Project 45 in an attempt to surpass the best previous Japanese player and father of MTO on-court treatment rules Shuzo Matsuoka's career high ranking. Let's hope the hype doesn't choke Tseng and he too can crush that project goal.

Allegedly losing to Troicki.

I was looking forward to following Gael’s progress that year but was stymied after watching only one of his matches (not sure if R1 or R2 without doing some research). With the explanation of rain having backed up the schedule and/or more in the forecast (I can’t remember) they moved the juniors offsite to a private club I think up in Westchester somewhere. It was a real disappointment as Gael was the first boy since Edberg I think to be in the running for the Junior CYGS.

I’ve never run into ANYONE that saw the match that he allegedly lost.

 

[Tshooter]

...without doing some research)...

After some research.

I saw Gael play R1 (verse Remke de Rijke. Who ???). It was played on Day 8 and it didn't rain the first 7 days. Day 9 I think it rained a bit but there was play at least by the adults. So incredibly they must have moved juniors offsite because of the forecast for Day 10. Of all the years to pull this stunt.

Day 10 it did rain (however Fed-Andre played about 3 hrs at night until rain came again).

Day 11 they also played juniors off-site:

"as the US Open Junior Championships were once again played indoors at Sound Shore Tennis about twenty miles from the National Tennis Center...It was Viktor Troicki who ended the dream of Gael Monfils to become the first player since Stefan Edberg (1983) to win the Junior Grand Slam...It will get even tougher for Sam [Querrey] now as he faces No. 3 Andrew Murray tomorrow. Andrew had a quick and easy one against William Ward, 6-1,6-2."

The juniors return on-site Day 12. Gael doesn't come back because allegedly he loses offsite to V.T.

On Saturday, Day 13, I watch some kid named Andrew Murray (who ??) beat M. Zverev. Zverev’s younger brother and future multiple Slam winner according to some or over-hyped NextGen villain to others is about age 7.

Gael was apparently injured or only recently recovered and lacked practice. I didn't know that at the time:

Yes, Murray went by Andrew as far as the scoreboard was concerned that year.

Given his age, he probably won't grow significantly. A cm or so. Maybe more, but I doubt he's a late bloomer considering his results.
