October 2, 2025 | By New York Tennis Magazine Staff

Weeks after the “Little Mo” Internationals graced the courts in New Jersey, top juniors arrived at the Cary Leeds Center for Tennis & Learning in the Bronx to compete in the “Little Mo” Regionals.

“The Northeast is an ideal setting for our ‘Little Mo’ Internationals and North Regionals. Since the events take place during the U.S. Open, players can enjoy competing in their matches during the day and watching the pros in action at night,” Weyman added. “Beyond the tennis, the region offers countless sights and attractions, giving players and families the chance to create unforgettable memories and turn the tournament into a special vacation experience.”

Players battled across 10 different divisions in the Bronx. Below are the winners from each division:

→Boys 8s Singles: Judd Perkins (New York, New York)

→Boys 8s Singles Green: Chase Chang (Manhasset, New York)

→Boys 10s Singles: Adrian Choi (Bedford, New York)

→Boys 10s Singles Green: Aarav Mandadi (Princeton, New Jersey)

→Boys 12s Singles: Maxim Kerbikov (Satellite Beach, Florida)

→Girls 8s Singles: Maximilliana Bhalla (New York, New York)

→Girls 8s Singles Green: Abigail Bartlett (Berkeley Heights, New Jersey)

→Girls 10s Singles: Andreea Dandes (Naperville, Illinois)

→Girls 10s Singles Green: Emma Hou (New York, New York)

→Girls 12s Singles: Emma Ziyu Ling (Manhasset, New York)

“We were fortunate to host our events at two outstanding venues: the Internationals at the West Orange Tennis Club and the North Regionals at the Cary Leeds Center for Tennis & Learning,” said Weyman. “Both locations reached maximum capacity, bringing together nearly 500 players from across the United States and across the world.”

The “Little Mo” Tournament Series will conclude with the third leg of the Internationals in Florida in December, before turning the page to 2026 and continuing to provide junior tennis players with a one-of-a-kind tournament experience.

“We’re excited to close out the year with our final event—the ‘Little Mo’ Internationals in Florida. This special tournament brings together the world’s top players ages 8-14 for an unforgettable week of competition and camaraderie,” said Weyman. “For the first time, we’ll be using an Acceptance List rather than a first-come, first-served format. Selection will be based on each player’s Verified UTR Rating, ensuring the strongest field of juniors from across the globe. As we look ahead to 2026, our mission remains clear: to inspire more young athletes to pick up a racquet, experience the joy of tennis at ‘Little Mo’, and discover why it is truly the ‘sport of a lifetime.’”
