Twenty Years of Orange Bowl Champions

In preparation for the upcoming Orange Bowl, which begins Sunday for the 16s and a week from today for the 18s (qualifying starts Friday), I decided to post a list of the champions from the past 20 years. With the USTA no longer featuring any mention of past champions on the tournament website, I thought it might be worthwhile to review the champions, going back far enough to include most still competing on the tours. (The exception is the most famous Orange Bowl champion, Roger Federer, who will not make this list because he won the 18s in 1998). I began covering the tournament in 2005, and by clicking on the name of player, you will be sent to my coverage of the finals they appeared in. Note that I'm using the spelling of players' names that appears on the hard copy of the list the USTA used to distribute at the event.
