Kooyong Foundation players have enjoyed a stellar run of form in recent weeks, claiming multiple ITF Junior titles across Australia and internationally. Their performances reflect both emerging talent and the strength of Kooyong’s player development program.

Lachlan King had a breakthrough fortnight at the J30 ITF events in Frankston and Mornington. King captured his first junior ITF titles in Frankston, triumphing in both singles and doubles. He continued his impressive run in Mornington, reaching the final in singles to cap off an outstanding couple of weeks.

In the Pacific, Kynan Enwright enjoyed a standout performance in Lautoka,Fiji. Enwright won his maiden junior ITF singles title in the first of two back-to-back J30 events, defeating fellow Kooyong Foundation player Hayato Sata in the final. The pair then teamed up in the second week to win the doubles title—marking the first ITF juniors doubles crown for both players. Not to be outdone, Sata claimed his own singles title in the second event, going through the week without dropping a set.

Back in Australia, Isabel Cairns had a strong showing at the J30 Mornington ITF tournament, reaching the semi-finals in singles and clinching the doubles title alongside partner Musemma Cilek—her first ITF doubles title.

Meanwhile, Ava Beck took her game to the global stage, competing in high-level J200and J300 events in the south of France. After a challenging start to the tour, Beck broke through in style, winning the J300 Beaulieu-sur-Mer doubles title with partner Alana Subasic. Beck, ranked inside the world’s top 100 junior players, is setting her sights on qualifying for the French Open and Wimbledon junior events.

Congratulations to all the players on their outstanding results and continued success on the international junior circuit!
