In the boys' event, Bernard Cassar Torreggiani won the U-12 category after eliminating his twin brother Matthew in the semi-finals. He beat Patrick Giorgiev in the final.

Cassar Torreggiani, 11, also managed to reach the final of the U-14 tournament, losing to Chris Abdelghani in three sets.

Another promising player in the U-12 bracket is Raphael Sammut. He lost in three sets to Giorgiev.

In U-10, the promising Mark Schranz beat Luke Hammet 8-3 in the final.
