Coin toss for boys final between Americans Tanishk Konduri[2] and Teodor Davidov[10]. A bit less oppressive heat and humidity this am and rain unlikely #2026PanAmJ300

I heard several people question whether 16-yo Xinran Sun's game would transfer to the pros, even with three junior slam finals and her US Open girls title last month. Small sample size, but after two wins at the WTA 1000 in Beijing, signs are pointing to yes.

I watched most of the third and the tiebreak and it was one of the most entertaining, tension packed, roller coaster matches I’ve seen as well.

021

American Marcel Latak is the 2026 US Open boys singles champion. He saves three match points in the third set tiebreaker to defeat top seed and junior No. 1 Guto Miguel 36, 75, 76(11). Recency bias acknowledged, it's one of the best junior matches I've seen in my 20 plus years of covering them.

261

Xinran Sun of China wins 2026 US Open girls singles title, after falling in the finals of Roland Garros and Wimbledon. She defeats Wimbledon champion Anna Pushkareva of Russia 64, 46, 60

034

The girls USO final split, with Sun winning 1st set 64 and Pushkareva taking 2nd 64, similar pattern to Wimbledon. 20 minutes later, Latak takes 2nd from Miguel 75 after Miguel won 1st 63 The Penickova twins win 2nd junior slam title, beating the Russian team of Berezina and Terentyeva 76(11) 63

It seems like the US Open should be showcasing the junior finals and putting them on the Grandstand or Stadium 17. Same with the wheelchair.

031

Both junior singles finals and the girls doubles final are all at 11 am, which is a schedule no other major would contemplate for the junior championships. I'm not sure why junior tennis is so devalued here; I've never heard an explanation for this kind of scheduling that made any sense to me.
