Quick wrap-up of the Two Singles events:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

———————
In the Boys Gold #1:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The semis comprised the #1, #2, #5 and #6 seeds. 
– #5 seeded Lucas Shoemaker<\/strong> got a Injury win over #4 Andrew Gleason<\/strong>, the World runnerup in 14-U this past summer. Shoemaker made the quarters of US 18U this past summer before losing to the now-graduated Dane Elkins<\/strong><\/a>.
– #6 Vedant Chauhan<\/strong>, who owns 3 USA junior titles and is playing in his 14U season, advanced over #35 seed Robert Arellano<\/strong>, who had previously topped the #3 seed Cody Boucher<\/strong> in an earlier round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In those semis:
– Seven-time junior USA champ #1 Antonio Rojas<\/strong> topped #5 Shoemaker, in a rematch of last year’s USA 16U quarters, 6,13.
– #6 Chauhan easily downed #2 seed Cayden Aikens<\/strong> 8,6. Aikens made the finals of USA 16U and the quarters of 16U worlds last year. Chauhan is having an excellent tournament and will be a tough out in the final.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the final, #1 Rojas ran away from Chauhan in game one and held on in game two for a two-game championship win 2,12. Rojas’ win means that the last six HS National boys champions hailed from California schools, a list that includes Rojas’ brother Mauro Rojas<\/strong>, and means that California prep players have now won 8 of the 32 historical HS national titles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the Girls Gold #1:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The semis were the #1, #2, #4 and #6 Seeds.
– #6 Arya Cyril<\/strong> upset #3 seeded Erin Slutzky<\/strong>, the finalist at 2018 16U, in an 11-9 tiebreaker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In those Semis:
– #1 seed Annie Roberts<\/strong><\/a>, the reigning USA 16U champ and also the defending High School champ, topped #4 seed Alondra Canchola<\/strong> in a rematch of the 2018 16U quarters 3,8.
– #2 seed Nikita Chauhan<\/strong>, who owns two US junior titles and who made the 18U final in 2018, topped #6 Cyril by the skin of her teeth: 14,(8),10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the Final, #1 Seed Roberts defending her title, downing Chauhan 6,9 in the final. Robert’s titles continues dominance of this event by Oregon-based prep players: 11 of the 32 National HS titles have been won by players from Oregon. Roberts also becomes the first player to repeat as HS National champion since 4-time HS champ Lexi York<\/strong> held the title between 2012-2015.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
