2010 Borotra Cup - 16 & Under Boys

France beat Great Britain 3-0 to win the Borotra Cup for the fourth time in six years on the final day of action in Le Touquet.

With a strong team that featured recently crowned European champion Mathias Bourgue and runner-up Gregoire Barrere as well as European #43 Laurent Lokoli, top seeded France raced through to the finals, winning all three ties without the loss of a match.

On the final day, Barrere brushed past Kyle Edmund in under 50 minutes, losing just one game. Bourgue then settled the tie with a 7-6(2) 6-3 win over Luke Bambridge before returning to the court to team with Lokoli to secure a 3-0 sweep with a 7-5 6-1 doubles win over Bambridge & Edmund.

The win extends France's record as the most successful country in the history of the Borotra Cup, with 8 titles in total. Mathias Bourgue also scored the rare distinction of holding all three Tennis Europe flagship competitions at once - the European Junior Championships, Tennis Europe Winter Cups by HEAD and European Summer Cup.

The competition also serves as the European qualifying event for the Junior Davis Cup by BNP Paribas. France and Great Britain will be joined at the finals in Mexico later this year by the third to sixth-placed teams, Czech Republic, Serbia, Russia and Latvia.
