Ivan Ivanov first finalist: the world junior number 1 conquers Tarragona

Ivan Ivanov (BUL), 17 years old, world junior number 1 and winner of both Wimbledon Junior and the US Open Junior, has booked his place in the final of the ITF M25 Ciutat de Tarragona after defeating Pavel Lagutin (RUS) in three sets (6-3 3-6 6-2). The Bulgarian started with authority, imposed his game from the very first game and took the first set comfortably. Lagutin, who has been playing since qualifying last Sunday without dropping a single match, fought back in the second set and forced a decider — the first set anyone has taken off him in the entire tournament. However, Ivanov raised his level in the third and gave the young Russian no way back. Ivanov now waits for his opponent in Sunday's final at 11:00. His rival will come from the match between Marcel Zielinski (POL) and Alex Marti Pujolras (ESP), which follows on the main court.
