<\/a>tennis express pro player gear<\/p>\n16-year-old Lee took out Cruz Hewitt, the son of Aussie Hall of Famer and former Wimbledon champion Lleyton, 4-6, 6-4, 7-5, to become the first American to win the Wimbledon Boys\u2019 title since 2021.<\/p>\n
Lee is one of five Americans to win the boys\u2019 tournament at Wimbledon this century, along with Donald Young, Noah Rubin, Reilly Opelka and Samir Banerjee.<\/p>\n
\u201cI know it\u2019s a long journey,\u201d Lee said in his post-match press conference. \u201cSo I don\u2019t think winning this title means that I\u2019m going to be destined for greatness or that I\u2019m going to win pros next year.<\/p>\n
\u201cI know there\u2019s a long journey ahead of me, and I\u2019m ready for it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lee was down early, 5-1, in the opening set, but closed the gap even though he didn\u2019t take the set. He held his own in the final two sets, and rallied from 4-2 down in the third against 17-year-old Hewitt to claim a title that was special because he had to miss most of last year with a wrist injury.<\/p>\n
\u201cI had a very serious wrist injury that kept me out for, like, seven months,\u201d he said. \u201cIt was a really tough time because I was seeing everyone play and get better and improve, and I couldn\u2019t play.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo yeah, I mean, a couple things around my body, but nothing that I was too worried about. I knew that once I started playing, once I got healthy, my level was there to win a slam, and I did.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lee\u2019s mom, Tina is currently a High Performance director at the USTA facility in Lake Nona, where Jordan trains.<\/p>\n
Pushkareva Takes Girls Title<\/p>\n
Russia\u2019s Anna Pushkareva defeated China\u2019s Xinran Sun, 6-4 2-6 6-1 for the Girls\u2019 title on Saturday. At two hours and 22 minutes it was the longest Wimbledon girls\u2019 final on record.<\/p>\n
She says blocking out the pressure was the key to her run.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy biggest secret is actually that I just try to not think,\u201d she said. \u201cI just tried every time, because when I don\u2019t think it\u2019s easy for me to explain. Just go to court, just do your job, and that\u2019s all. Just not thinking so much.<\/p>\n
\u201cNot think about people. Like not so think about arena. Not think it\u2019s like Wimbledon final. Because when you think, you get a pressure. Just try to not think.\u201d<\/p>\n
