The links to the videos of the finalists are below each of the champion's videos. I posted the videos from the finals of ITF J300 Bradenton on Tuesday.

With all that was going on the past two weekends in Florida, I didn't have time to do my weekly post on the American champions on the ITF Junior Circuit's smaller events. With the year winding down, and the with the big events in Florida, there wasn't much to report, with just three Americans winning singles titles in those two weeks, not including Jordan Lee's title at the J300 in Bradenton.
At a J30 in Costa Rica, 17-year-old Brayden Campion won his first ITF singles title, a week after claiming his first doubles title at another J30 in Costa Rica. The unseeded Campion defeated qualifer Gabriel Wennhall of Sweden 6-0, 7-5 in the final.
Fourteen-year-old Isabella Bosso followed the same pattern, winning her first ITF Junior Circuit title in doubles the last week of November and her first singles title the following week. Bosso defeated qualifier Sofia Mills, who was the No. 1 seed, 6-2, 6-2 in the final. Mills did win the doubles title with partner Maria Jose Gil Castillo of Mexico. The top seeds beat the unseeded team of Bosso and Mildalyn D'aguilar 7-5, 6-3 in the finals.
The third singles title came at last week's J60 in Zimbabwe, with 15-year-old Sydney Wright winning her third career singles title, all coming this year. Seeded No. 2, Wright defeated No. 3 seed Chenming Zhang of China 6-4, 6-3 in the final, while also reaching the doubles final.
At the J30 in Nicaragua, 13-year-old Alice Luiza Semenova won her first ITF Junior Circuit title, with Canadian partnery Evelina Nicolaeva. The unseeded pair defeated top seed Sienna Poma of El Salvador and Carla Rivera of Honduras 7-6(2), 3-6, 10-4 in the final.
Day two of the Next Gen ATP Finals in Saudia Arabia didn't clarify much regarding who the semifinalists will be, with only Alexander Blockx of Belgium securing a place in the Final Four. Tien won, Basavareddy and Jodar lost, so those three, plus Dino Prizmic are all 1-1. Nicolai Budkov Kjaer is the other player at 2-0, but he has not yet clinched a spot in the semifinals. Justin Engel and Martin Landaluce are 0-2, but not technically eliminated. All the scenarios are too complicated to go into here (why I generally am not a fan of round robin tournaments), but it will all be sorted Friday afternoon.
The schedule for Friday is here.
