The 2025 under 18 Fischer Outdoor Junior National Championships concluded on Saturday at the Ontario Racquet Club in Toronto as players from Ontario and Quebec raked in the titles.

Girls’ singles No. 1 seed Lily Rochon of Ontario was dominant en route to the final, dropping just six games before facing Quebec’s Dylan Gelber for the title. After dropping the opening set 6-4, Rochon rallied and won the ensuing two sets 6-4, 6-2 to hoist the trophy.

This was Rochon’s second U18 Fischer National Championships crown of the year, having won the doubles at the Indoor Championships in April.

The girl’s doubles final featured the top two seeds, and it was the No. 2 seeded team of Sophie Michelle Dement of Ontario and Alexie Normandin of Quebec who came out on top in a tight-three setter.
