In the Junior Girls event Bernadette Szocs is expected to lead her Romania to the title. However, last year it was Russia with Yana Noskova that took the victory. Both played an important role in the Singles, too.
The individual tournament will take off at July 18th. Last year Tristan Flore stood victorious in Kazan, and his French teammates will be eager to follow in his footsteps this year. In the Girls tournament the favorites are more from different countries. Besides defending champion Szocs and Noskova, there is Petrissa Solja from Germany and Britt Eerland from the Netherlands, who already won in 2010.
