Les Petits As – Le Mondial Lacoste (English: Little champions – The Lacoste world championship) is a junior tennis tournament for players aged 12–14, held in Tarbes, France. This tournament is now one of the five Super Category tournaments in the U14 circuit of the Tennis Europe Junior Tour,[1][2] and it is universally recognized as the world’s leading indoor U14 competition.[3] The tournament is traditionally held at the end of January, although the 2020 and 2021 editions had to take place in September due to the Covid-19 pandemic.[3]
The event has seen a number of its champions go on to become slam winners, including Rafael Nadal, Michael Chang, Martina Hingis, Kim Clijsters, Juan Carlos Ferrero, Jeļena Ostapenko and Bianca Andreescu.[4][5] Due to the relatively restrictive age range, few players have won the title more than once, although Hingis and Timea Bacsinszky have both done so.[6] Most recently, upcoming Spanish player Carlos Boluda became the first boy to do so.
