DeFalco, McKennon Win Costa Rica Grade 3 Titles; BNP Paribas Open Wild Cards Announced; Montgomery Reaches Las Vegas $25K Final; USA Advances to Davis Cup Finals

NOTE: Due to an error on the ITF website, I initially reported that Wagle had won in the final rather than DeFalco.

Jenna DeFalco and Max McKennon won ITF Grade 3 titles in Costa Rica today, giving US juniors a sweep of the event. DeFalco, the No. 2 seed, defeated Elise Wagle 7-5, 6-4, giving the 17-year-old her seventh ITF Junior Circuit title and second this year. McKennon, the top seed, now has back-to-back titles at the Grade 3 level; after winning in El Salvador last week, the 17-year-old Arizona State recruit cruised into the final, but had a tough battle with No. 3 seed Samir Banerjee before earning a 7-5, 4-6, 7-6(4) decision in the championship match.

In the doubles, No. 3 seeds Ozan Colak and Aidan Kim defeated unseeded Edward Winter of Australia and American Billy Suarez 6-4, 6-3 in the final. It's the pair's second title in the past three weeks. In the girls doubles, unseeded Gracie Epps and Caroline Wernli claimed the title, beating No. 3 seeds Hannah Chambers of Barbados and Sara Valentina Cruz Bonilla of El Salvador 6-4, 6-1 in the final.

At the Grade 1 in Thailand, Zane Khan, who had come through qualifying, lost in the final to No. 7 seed 15-year-old Coleman Wong of Hong Kong 3-6, 6-3, 6-4.
