Congratulations to 16 year old Alex Domijan of Saddlebrook Tennis Academy who reached the finals of the Eddie Herr Tournament for the Boys 18s Division this past Sunday. Before reaching the final Domijan had an impressive run of 8 consecutive wins battling through qualifying rounds and eventually upsetting the 3rd seed Roman Jebavy in the main draw to get through to the final. Alex had the full support of Saddlebrook Academy during the finals with close to 50 of his classmates, coaches, and parents coming to support him with banners and words of encouragement - giving him as close to a 'home court' advantage as possible. In the end the title went to Gastao Elias of Portugal (6-1, 6-2) who played an impressive match seeming to be in all the right places at the right times.
During the trophy ceremony Alex was honored with the Glenn Feldman Sportsmanship Award. This award is given to one player who is selected out of the over 1200 participants by the tournament officials as having demonstrated a high level of sportsmanship and on-court conduct throughout the course of the tournament.
At just 16 years old, towering at 6'6" with a well-developed all-around game, Domijan looks forward to continued success. As he moves on to the main draw of the Orange Bowl in Miami, Alex is currently ranked #6 in the US for Boys 18s and has an ITF ranking of 190 that will improve at years end making him eligible for the main draw of the Junior Grand Slam events. Alex has trained at Saddlebrook since he was a young camper and has spent the last 3 years enrolled at Saddlebrook Academy and Preparatory School.
