New York 05.09.2025: Jamie “Red Rocket” Mackenzie is the last remaining male DTB representative flying the German flag in New York. The New Zealand native, the 2024 Jugend Cup champion, advanced to the doubles semifinals of the US Junior Open with his American partner Dominick Mosejczuk after a two-set victory over Karki/Satterfield (USA). Awaiting them there are two powerhouse US boys, Noah Johnston and Benjamin Willwerth, who knocked out Italians Michele Mecarelli and Jugend Cup veteran Gabriele Crivellaro in the quarterfinals. Jugend Cup alumni Julia Stusek and Max Schönfeld also saw their run at the Junior Grand Slam come to an end in the singles and doubles quarterfinals. Still in the running are Eva Bennemann (Baublies Jugend Cup 2024) and her partner Sonja Zhenikova, who will battle the Czech Kovackova sisters (also Jugend Cup alumni) today for a spot in the doubles final.
