NEW YORK (AP)—Two Americans will play in the U.S. Open boys’ singles final for the first time in a decade.
Tenth-seeded Denis Kudla will face unseeded Jack Sock on Sunday.
The last time an American won the title was also 2000. Future U.S. Open men’s champion Andy Roddick beat Robby Ginepri.
Sock also played in the main draw, losing in four sets to 63rd-ranked Marco Chiudinelli. Sock earned a wild card from the U.S. Tennis Association by winning the boys’ 18s singles title at the USTA national championships.
Sock beat second-seeded Marton Fucsovics of Hungary, 6-3, 6-4 in Saturday’s semifinals. Kudla defeated eighth-seeded Agustin Velotti of Argentina 6-3, 6-2.
The girls’ final will be all-Russian, top-seeded Daria Gavrilova against unseeded Yulia Putintseva.
