McNeil and Ji Take USTA Clay Court 18s Titles; Michelsen Wins Chicago Challenger; Brantmeier and Dostanic Close out SoCal Pro Series with First Pro Singles Titles; Americans Sweep at Dallas $25k
My onsite coverage of the Wimbledon Junior Championships has kept me from following the tennis going on in the United States as much as I would like, but I hope to catch up on that as well as the results from the ITF Junior Circuit.
The USTA National Clay Court Championships concluded yesterday, with the results of the singles and doubles finals listed below. Tennis Recruiting Network will have articles on all eight divisions beginning Tuesday with the 12s. (Update: the USTA has announced that 18s champions McNeil and Ji have received wild cards into the US Open Junior Championships with their titles).

Eighteen-year-old Alex Michelsen won his first Challenger title yesterday at the 75 level tournament in Chicago, finishing a third set of his semifinal with Jerry Shang of China in the morning, then beating unseeded Yuta Shimuzu of Japan 7-5, 6-2 in the final. It's looking increasingly unlikely that Michelsen will join the Georgia Bulldogs, now that he has broken into the Top 200 of the ITF rankings. For more on Michelsen's win, see this article from the ATP.
Mikelis Libietis of Latvia, the 2014 NCAA doubles champion at Tennessee, and Skander Mansouri(Wake Forest) of Tunisia defeated top seeds Yunseong Chung of Korea and Andrew Harris(Oklahoma) of Australia 7-6(5), 6-3 in the doubles final.
The SoCal Pro Series wrapped up on Sunday, and the qualifying wild cards to the 2024 BNP Paribas Open were awarded, with 21-year-old Stefan Dostanic(USC) and 22-year-old Haley Giavara(Cal) booking their spots in Indian Wells next spring.
Dostanic won the final event of the seven-tournament circuit in Lakewood, his first pro title in singles. Seeded No. 3, Dostanic defeated last week's champion Andre Ilagan(Hawaii) 6-7(1), 6-2, 7-5 in the final.
No. 2 seed Giavara lost in the women's $15,000 tournament in Lakewood, to UNC rising sophomore Reese Brantmeier, 6-4, 6-4, but her title two weeks ago in Irvine helped her seal the wild card.
The 18-year-old Brantmeier, seeded No. 3, has two USTA Pro Circuit doubles titles, but yesterday's championship was her first in singles.
Brantmeier and teammate Fiona Crawley lost to Savannah Broadus(Pepperdine) and Anita Sahdiieva(Baylor/LSU) of Ukraine 6-3, 6-3 in the doubles final.
Ryan Seggerman(Princeton/UNC) and Patrick Trhac(Idaho State/Utah) won their second straight doubles title in Lakewook, beating No. 2 seeds Jack Anthrop and Bryce Nakashima(Ohio State) 7-5, 6-2 in the final.
For more on the Lakewood finals, see this article from SoCal Pro Series media aide Steve Pratt.
The fourth event last week on the USTA Pro Circuit was a men's $25,000 tournament in Dallas, with Mitchell Krueger taking the title. Seeded No. 2, Krueger defeated No. 4 seed Aidan Mayo 6-4, 6-0 in the final.
No. 2 seeds George Goldhoff(Texas) and Tyler Zink(Georgia/Oklahoma State) defeated Matt Hulme(Nebraska) of Australia and Franco Ribero(Texas Tech) of Argentina 4-6, 6-3, 10-8 in the final.
