Slovenian Žiga Šeško reaches Wimbledon junior doubles final

Slovenian junior tennis player Žiga Šeško is set to compete in his first Grand Slam doubles final after reaching the championship match at Wimbledon. The 17-year-old, partnered with Brazil's Gut Miguel, secured their spot by defeating the Botswana-Nigerian team of Ntungamili Raguin and Olowaseun Ogunsakin in a hard-fought semifinal.

The top-seeded duo won the match 6:3, 6:7 (6), and 10:6 after an hour and a half of play. Šeško and Miguel, who are also the top seeds in the junior doubles at Wimbledon, have had a successful year, having won the Australian Open junior title and the French Open junior doubles, respectively.

In Saturday's final, Šeško and Miguel will face the American pair Michael Antonius and Andrew Johnson, who are the second seeds. Both Šeško and Miguel exited the singles competition at Wimbledon in the second round, but have found greater success together in doubles.

Another Slovenian player, Svit Suljić, also competed in his first junior Grand Slam at Wimbledon, reaching the second round in singles and the first round in doubles. The women's junior singles final will also take place on Saturday, featuring two Czech players, Karolina Muchova and Linda Noskova.
