Share:    

Down a set to No. 7 seed Magnus Weng in the Boys 16s final of the USTA National Winter Championships, top-seeded Safir Azam didn't get frustrated or panic.

"He stepped onto the court and just started crushing me," the 15-year-old Redmond, Washington, native said. "I was just mentally accepting that if he played that well, I would have to accept it."

Azam didn't have to. He turned the tide, beating Weng of San Jose, California, 3-6, 6-2, 6-2 to win the 128-player singles bracket on clay courts at the USTA National Campus in Orlando, Florida.

"This is probably to date my best win, my best tournament," said Azam, who also won the Boys 16s National Indoors gold ball in December and is ranked fourth nationally among ninth-graders.

Paige Wygodzki captured the Girls 16s singles title. The talented left-hander from Huntington, New York, won 14 consecutive sets on clay, including a 6-4, 6-3 victory over 10th-seeded Anjani Vickneswaran of Surprise, Arizona.
