My National Open Coverage and All July Final Results; USTA's Davis Cup Development Camp

I'm doing some non-tennis-related traveling this weekend, so this post is early, and Saturday's post will feature Harold Solomon's response to a question about the physical and mental sources of cramping. I should be back to wrap up the weekend's tennis action on Sunday evening, although I will try to tweet any notable results.

On Monday, I covered the first National Open held in Kalamazoo, one of the four boys and girls 16s tournaments played over the holiday weekend, and my article about the two singles finals is available today at the Tennis Recruiting Network. The results of the finals at the other tournaments are below. It's interesting to note how few No. 1 seeds ended up winning the tournaments, except for the 12s, where six of eight top seeds took the titles if I can.
