Belgian, German win junior French Open 2012 titles

Belgian Kimer Coppejans became the first player from his country since 1947 to win the Roland Garros boys title on Sunday. The young player beat Canada’s Filip Peliwo 6-1, 6-4. Peliwo was also a runner-up at the Australian Open 2012.

Meanwhile, Germany’s Annika Beck beat Slovakia’s Anna Schmiedlova to win the girls championship with a score of 3-6, 7-5, 6-3. The last time a German girl won the Roland Garros girls title was Anna-Lena Groenefeld in 2003.

Their victories meant that they’ll get wildcard entries in next year’s Roland Garros main draw.
