had to settle for silver after being outplayed in the boys singles finals at the ITF Junior Masters in Chengdu, China Sunday.
With two Grand Slams under his belt this year in addition to four wins in Chengdu, the top seeded Tseng was toppled by world No. 13 Brandon Nakashima of the United States in straight sets 2-6, 1-6 in a match that lasted 58 minutes.
“Brandon was just too good today. He served and returned really deep, so I didn’t have a lot of chances to get into the rallies or control many points,” Tseng said, following what may be his last junior tournament.
“I’m very sad, but this has still been a great experience and I’ve learned a lot here to help me get better in the future,” Tseng pointed out, revealing that he plans to turn professional next year. [FULL STORY]
