France overcame the Slovak Republic in a hotly contested final in Ascoli (ITA) to regain the 14 & Under Tennis Europe Winter Cups by HEAD title for the first time since 2004. Thomas Brechemeier gave the French team an early lead with a straightforward 6-4 6-4 win over Slovak #2 Martin Blasko in the opening singles rubber. European #2 Oliver Nagy then levelled the tie, surviving a second set fight back to outlast arguably the most impressive player of the indoor season, 'Les Petits As' champion Quentin Halys 7-6(4) 3-6 6-2. French #3 Maxim Janvier then joined Halys for the deciding doubles match, as the pair comfortably despatched Blasko & Nagy for the loss of just four games to seal the victory. The win is the fifth title overall in this age category for France, who also become just the third team ever to win both boys' title in the same year, a feat achieved previously only by Spain (in 2002) and Germany (1983-84). Last year's champions Great Britain finished in fifth place. Team Nominations (Final Rounds) Team Profiles (Final Rounds)
