On his 18th birthday, Henry Bernet won the Junior Australian Open on Saturday, beating American Benjamin Willwerth (6-3, 6-4) in the final.

In doing so, he became the first Swiss player to win the junior title, after a masterful final and an equally impressive week in which he lost just one set in six matches.

Characterized by his one-handed backhand, Bernet had this to say about comparisons with Roger Federer: "I'm proud to have my name associated with his. I'm making my own way, and I know there will always be comparisons.

But they're not a problem for me, they're a source of motivation. I'd love to have a chat with Roger soon."

I am surprised about relatively low attendance at Roland Garros which was the most popular slam 20+ years ago. I myself love it as well as really loving aus and us opens. I don't care about Wimbledon, sometimes maybe I can watch women's tennis. I hate Wimbledon's white dress code, I feel like I am watching junior tennis...I watched very few matches like Graf davenport final in 1999 the last time.....

It will really be befitting if he attains his 25th Grand Slam crown at the AO for he's truly the GOAT & this will stamp him & endorse his GOAT status without an iota of doubt

Almost as important to Djokovic as Slam #25--and requiring less luck--is beating Federer's total of 103 singles titles. He'll play 250s, and might even surpass Connors's 109.
