In the feature's latest edition, ITFWorld learns more about two promising young players with huge potential. Liv Hovde of the United States won her first title of 2022 at J1 San Diego in March before reaching the final of Trofeo Bonfiglio – the prestigious ITF World Tennis Tour Juniors Grade A event in Milan – although the best was yet to come. The 16-year-old thrived during the grass- court season and conquered all before her at J1 Roehampton before a week later topping the podium at Wimbledon as girls' champion. Hong Kong's Coleman Wong, meanwhile, claimed the second junior Grand Slam doubles title of his fledgling career alongside USA's Bruno Kuzuhara at the Australian Open in January. The 18-year-old has since made a little bit of history by becoming the first player from Hong Kong to reach the quarter-finals of the boys' singles at Wimbledon, and he reached the boys' semi-finals at the US Open. Ahead of the US Open, we got to know both Liv and Coleman a little better.
