Last week's junior tournament was made of a smaller group than usual, but a familiar one with players who share the court every Monday, who know each other’s games, habits, and patterns almost too well. Maybe that’s why it quietly turned competitive from the very start. No big noise, just focus, long rallies, and everyone digging a little deeper than usual.

Point by point, you could see the effort building. And by the end, tired legs, a few smiles, and that shared feeling of having really worked for it. Emilian took the win this time, with Alex close behind in second—both very well earned 👏

Coach Hiroe couldn’t be prouder! A good day, with a really good group!
