The Munns Public School student is the No. 1-ranked under-12 male tennis player in the country. He justified the lofty ranking by winning the U12 Canadian championship in Calgary last month. Simeunovic has already represented Ten nis Canada in the U10 Davis Cup against France, helping Canada win the set of matches last year. Three years ago he won the U10 provin cial championship and the Future Stars U10 provincial title as well. At the Calgary nationals, Simeunovic, the No. 2 seed, defeated B.C.' s Ronik Sihota 6-2, 6-3 in the championship game for his first national title. Simeunovic won every set he played in seven matches in Calgary over a week-long period. He moved up three spots from last year' s nationals when he finished fourth in U12 against older competition. The Oakville resident trains at the Ontario Racquet Club in Mississauga where he rou tinely puts in 12 hours of tennis practice a week along with tournaments and camps on some weekends. The southpaw plays Ontario Tennis As sociation tournaments and national tourna ments organized by Tennis Canada. Simeunovic has also played in Europe and the U.S. representing his country for Euro Tour events and Orange Bowl competitions in Florida.
