2008 European Junior Championships - 18 & Under
Third seeded Guillaume Rufin became the second French player in three years to lift the European Junior Championships title, with a 64 64 win over
Henri Kontinen.
Rufin was in fine form throughout the rain-affected week in Bad Hofgastein (AUT), winning his six matches without the loss of a set, and can expect to break into
the top ten of the ITF Junior Rankings as a result of his win.
Top seed Kontinen had been hoping to join this year's 16 & Under champion, Henri Laaksonen, as the only Finnish players to win European
Junior Championship titles.
Elena Bogdan of Romania prevented an all-French celebration as she beat Cindy Chala 64 62 to win the girls' title. Bogdan also won the tournament without the loss
of a set, and becomes the first Romanian winner of the event in eighteen years.
Eleventh seeds Richard Hampel and Radim Urbanek continued the Czech Republic's domination of the boys doubles event, beating Valdimir Kruk and Andrei Vasilevski (BLR) for a seventh
Czech win from the last thirteen editions.
The girls' doubles title went to fourth seeds Richel Hogenkamp and Lesley Kerkhove. The Dutch pair had survived a succession of nailbiting finishes to reach the final, but had
less trouble against the Spanish pair of Leticia Costas and Yera Campos-Molina, winning 75 63.
