The ACT Junior Championships were held from January 29-31 of January.  A number of ACT players posted strong results at the Silver Junior Tour event.

In the 12 Boys event, Dominic Ferraris battled through tough 3 setters on both the quarters and semis to face fellow Canberran Charlie Snow in the final.  In a closely contested final, Snow won 6-4, 6-7, 6-3 in a match that lasted almost 3 hours.  Snow also teamed with Nicholas Bisa to make the final of the 12 Boys final before going down to Stami Arthur and Brian Capalnean.

Zac Donaldson won the 16 Boys singles title without losing a set, after he was leading Luke Sarris by a set and 3-0, when Sarris was forced to retire.  Annerly Poulos also dominated the 16 Girls singles, dropping just 6 games for the tournament and defeating fellow ACT player and top seed Matina Ujdur in the final.

Sam Bisa and Jack Lyons took out the 14 Boys doubles, while Geetanjali Sharma and Madeleine Whip beat Samantha Burrow and Madison Sutherland in the 14 Girls doubles.  Hayden Okines combined with Petar Zelijkovic to win the 16 Boys doubles over Max De Somer and Jacob Wilson.  In the 12 girls doubles, Alyssa Simoncini and Camila Felix-Vonarx finished runners up to Zahra Arthur and Breanna Cerasa.

In the 12 girls singles Zahra Arthur defeated Breanna Cerasa while in the 14 Boys singles Jake Magill beat Srijan Singh.
