Robin Stanek and Ksenia Sharifova have been crowned as the 2009 Tennis Europe Junior Masters champions at the season-ending championships in Napoli, Italy. Second seeded Stanek recorded his third consecutive straight sets win of the event to upset Czech compatriot Marek Routa 7-5 6-2 to take the boys title. The final was a repeat of the Category 1 Rakovnik final earlier in the year, also won by Stanek. Both players also reached the semi finals of the European Championships in Pilzen, and will end the season as two of the top three European Under 14s. Sharifova's win marked the biggest success so far for the Russian 13-year old, who won her third title of the season, having also triumphed at Category 2 events in Umag and Maribor. Having blitzed through previous matches against Barbara Haas and Oleksandr Korashvili in straight sets, Sharifova was forced to come from behind in the final, conceding the first set 4-6 to Israel's Valeria Patiuk before striking back 6-3 6-2 to seal the win. The victory for Sharifova marks the third consecutive year that a Russian girl has won the 14 & Under title, and also ensures that Russia's run of fifteen consecutive years with a representative in the European 14 & Under top ten remains unbroken. The Junior Masters is an elite event for the top eight best-performing European players on the Tennis Europe Junior Tour. Former Masters champions include Rafael Nadal, Tommy Robredo and Kim Clijsters.
