08/04/06 - Ostrava, Czech Republic--Spain's Carlos Boluda has won his first European Championship title at the Boys' 14 & under event in Ostrava, Czech Republic.
The Prince protégé, seeded seventh and playing with the Prince O3 Tour racquet, made his breakthrough in the 2006 Tennis Europe championship when he defeated Ashot Khacharyan, the top seed from Russia, 7-5, 4-6, 7-6 (7/5) in the semi-finals.
Boluda went on to capture the title after a comfortable 6-1, 6-3 victory over Slovakia's Robert Gasparetz in the final.
"Carlos is clearly a youngster with a bright future ahead of him, and we are delighted that he has achieved this impressive European breakthrough with our revolutionary O3 racquet technology," said Mike Ballardie, vice president and managing director of Prince Sports Europe.
Boluda's European title success comes a week after the teenager won the Spanish "Manuel Alonso" Junior U14 Championship in his home country.
