MELBOURNE, Australia — Swiss player Henry Bernet gave himself a fairly impressive 18th birthday present and said he's taken inspiration from countrymen Roger Federer and Stan Wawrinka following his 6-3, 6-4 win over American Benjamin Willwerth in the Australian Open junior boys final. Bernet said he met Federer for the first time last year at the U.S. Open while he has practiced with Wawrinka as the pair share the same management team. In the junior girls final, Japan's Wakana Sonobe beat Kristina Penickova 6-0, 6-1 to improve on her runner-up finish at last year's U.S. Open.
