Spain's Victoria Jiménez and Kilian Feldbausch of Switzerland won the ninth “Longines Future Tennis Aces” finals, held today on a clay court set up under the Eiffel Tower, as part of the “Roland-Garros in the City” campaign.

The trophies were awarded by Guy Forget, Roland-Garros tournament director, and Juan-Carlos Capelli, Vice President of Longines and Head of International Marketing.

The competition was contested by 40 under-13 players from 20 different countries. For the second time since the event was created in 2010, two joint tournaments have been organised, with 20 boys and 20 girls in the running.

The two young winners had the honour of playing an exhibition match with Stefanie Graf and Andre Agassi, Longines Ambassadors of Elegance, after the finals. Arantxa Sanchez and Alex Corretja, patrons of this year’s tournament, also had a hit with the finalists.

The winners took home a Longines watch and a yearly scholarship to be paid until their 16th birthdays.
