Jan Kumstát (17) will play for the junior title at the Australian Open. In the semi-finals, he defeated Mees Rottgering (16) from the Netherlands 6:1 and 6:3. His opponent in Saturday’s final will be the fourth-seeded Rei Sakamoto (17) from Japan.
Jan Kumstát made it to the final in his first appearance at the Junior Grand Slam. At the Australian Open, he can become only the second Czech champion – Jiří Veselý is the only one who managed to dominate the junior in Melbourne in 2011.
