Southern California native Taylor Fritz wins U.S. Open boys’ title

Reporting from NEW YORK CITY —  Taylor Fritz of Rancho Santa Fe won the U.S. Open boys’ singles title Sunday, completing a top performance by U.S. junior boys’ players in three of the world’s best tennis events.

Fritz, 17, beat a U.S. teammate in the final, Tommy Paul, 6-2, 6-7 (4), 6-2. Paul had rallied from 3-1 in the second set.

Paul won the French Open junior title, beating Fritz in the final, and another U.S. player, Reilly Opelka, took the title at Wimbledon.

Fritz, son of former tour standout Kathy May, will finish the season as the top-ranked junior in the world and has chosen to turn pro. He likely will play no more junior events.

In the girls’ tournament at the U.S. Open, U.S. player Sofia Kenin lost in the singles final to Dalma Galfi of Hungary, 7-5, 6-4.
