Max Lorincik (SVK), Daniel Baranes (ISR), Lenny Petit (MON) and Eleonora Toneva (BUL) have been awarded wild cards to compete at the Junior Masters in Monte-Carlo, due to start in less than two weeks.
Max Lorincik from Slovakia, the first player born in 2011 to rank within the top 15 of the Race to Monte-Carlo (currently 14th), has competed in four Junior Tour finals this year, clinching the title at the Kaleva Open.
Winner at the 2023 12 & Under Festival, Daniel Baranes will fill the final spot in the 14 & Under Girls category. This year, Baranes secured a Category 1 title in Helsinki and reached the finals at the Torneo Avvenire, also a Category 1 event.
Lenny Petit is familiar with the Monte-Carlo Country Club, having competed at the Masters in the 14 & Under event in 2022. With two ITF titles under his belt, he is set to return, aiming to surpass his previous achievements, now in the 16 & Under category.
Eleonora Toneva, currently ranked 8th in the Race, will join her compatriots Kaloyan Shikov (B16) and Valeria Garnevska (G16), completing both the Bulgarian team and the Girls 16 & Under lineup. Toneva has played four Junior Tour finals this year and won two of them.
Additionally, the competition has seen a few changes in its line-up. In the Boys' 14 & Under category, #5 ranked Izan Banares has withdrawn, allowing #9 ranked Alex Tuomolin (FIN) to enter the event. Similarly, in the Girls’ 14 & Under event, top-ranked Jana Kovackova (CZE) has withdrawn, creating the opportunity for #9 Megan Knight (GBR) to join.
The Junior Masters, hosted by the Monegasque Tennis Federation for the fourth consecutive year, will take place from October 22-26. Complete profiles of the 32 qualified players are available below:
