Which is what happened with the girls’ junior championship, the final was held on Sunday, the same day as the men’s final. Clervie Ngounoue, a 16-year-old American, won the Junior Wimbledon title. Clervie Ngounoue also won the junior doubles title at the French Open this year. Oh, and Wimbledon scheduled the girls’ final on a much smaller court rather than Court 1, the second most prestigious court at the tournament (and the court where the girls’ final is usually played). Could they not have let Clervie Ngounoue have the limelight on her own like they have with previous winners?
