INDIAN WELLS, Calif. - The Easter Bowl, the USTA's National Spring Championships, is often an introduction to the top of the tennis pyramid for the 12s and 14s divisions. Although the BNP Paribas Open ended a week prior to their arrival at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden, the youngest juniors saw all the trappings of one the biggest events in pro tennis and had a chance to practice and play on the same courts as their idols.

The unseasonably cool and damp weather in the Coachella Valley this year was in evidence on the day of the finals, with sun, wind, dropping temperatures and a few sprinkles cycling through. None of that fazed the champions however, with Jason Eigbedion and Raya Kotseva sweeping the 12s gold balls, while 14s champions Roshan Santhosh and Nancy Lee both earned their first Easter Bowl titles by coming back from a set down.
The sixth-seeded Eigbedion defeated No. 7 seed Advay Singh 6-4, 6-2, earning a second victory over Singh in a USTA National Level 1 event after posting a 6-2, 6-0 win at last summer's Clay Courts.
