Examples of Junior in a Sentence

1. Gilles Muller:

   You have to mix it up, you can't give these guys too many targets, but I use it a couple of times a game, maybe more. Back in 2001 when I was reached the junior final the courts were really fast. The bounce is still low, but it's slow too.

2. Mark Jones:

   The place [ age ] really affects is the issue of stamina. It’s a lot easier to barnstorm across United States when you are in your 40’s than when you are in your late 60’s. It requires a combination of drive but also stamina and the advantage Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio would have is being approximately 20 years their junior.

3. Bruce Bennett/Getty Images:

   I’m absolutely not racist at all. There was something I said back in junior; people don’t know what it is. I’m not going to go into it, but it was something I regretted. A friend of mine on my team, we had an argument, and we remained friends. The other stories that have come out are totally false, and I think that’s why teams in this league have known that.

4. The Blonde Jon:

   The Junior Punks Millionaire Mastermind is a game changer!

5. Soeren Stache/dpa via AP:

   It is all correct, reimann senior and Reimann junior were guilty ... they belonged in jail.
