Final of USTA Boys 18s National Championships, August 13, 2017, Stowe Stadium, Kalamazoo College, Kalamazoo Michigan. Patrick Kypson defeated JJ Wolf 6-7(1), 6-4, 1-6, 6-3, 6-2.
To all those not impressed...against you these guys would hit out and crush you...at this level it is about high percentage tennis...big swings at conservative targets.....against you they would feel no pressure and open their shoulders......I actually qualified for this in 87...just getting there was extremely difficult......to get to final.....these guys are top, top, notch players.....much respect
bro i have had experience playing tennis and when you play even 1 set your shirt gets stuck to your body and it is tough playing more than that even though it is possible because it is quite irritating so if that is why they change clothes
Has Kypson been battling some injuries? I noticed he had to use a protected ranking for some of the challengers he was entering and overall he's just not progressing as well as JJ is. Maybe he was one of many victims of the short-lived ITF World Tennis Tour.
Neither of them is strong. Hard to believe this is B18 national final. The winner will automatically play US open main draw, but certainly they are far from US open level.
The video is deceiving because it doesn't begin to convey how fast/hard they're hitting. No they are not US open level (yet), but they're both 5 star recruits playing for top tier Div I programs and already playing challengers and ITF matches at 18-19. But you still don't think they are "strong" players, which simply shows how little you know about tennis.
watching tennis on TV does not do any justice to how hard they are hitting the ball.... it looks slow on TV, watch it live and your opinion will change
@@christopherqu7383 Do you know what happened to Kypson? I know he had to use a protected ranking to enter several Challengers but overall doesn't seem to be progressing as well as JJ (neither is Brandon Holt for that matter but that's another problem entirely). He had a good freshman year at Texas A&M but afterward I haven't really heard much about him.

And now JJ is ranked #120 ATP, beating top 40 players, and reaching the third round of the US Open
Well, Wolf is ranked top 150 in the world now so.....
He is #48 in the world now
Went through the whole spectrum of shirts there.
They are almost my level lol
jwang lmao 💀
Dude wolf has gotten big since that pan am tournament match back in 2015 against Brandon holt
cant image nadal defeated world no1 at this age and one year later became the king of clay.
Wow this was recommended to me years after I lost to him round 2. Feels good knowing wolf is top 100 now
Kypson now plays for Texas A&M
Wolf now plays for Ohio state
He's now ranked 123 in the world and rising.
Now wolf is way better than his junior rivals like kypson or holt
@@brianmoney410now 39
How many times this kid gona change clothes
I hate my Life it was a five setter so changing that many times is acceptable 😂
Leave the rich kid alone ...

Thanx zootennis for these lovely videos
JJ is #39 in the world now
This was awesome
Can you add the score and the winner at the end? Thanks :)
That information is in the description of the video
All of a sudden everyone in the comments are tennis pros...
I didn’t see the end. I wonder if Kypson spat on his hand before shaking?
Wolf do be in a good spot today
People love to talk shit and they don't realize one of these guys plays D1 and the other has gone pro and is in the top 150

Lmaoooo every dude talking trash about jj seems so dumb now. The dudes playing in the us open and is almost top 100
and he's in the 3rd round now
2:45 did that ball hit the net I could’ve sworn it did but what do I know these dudes are smashing that tennis ball crazy fast.
nah i think that sound was just an echo from the serve

Keith Lee funny cause JJ wolf just won a challenger at 19 and is ranked inside the top 300 atp while still playing in college
Keith Lee think before u talk, JJ wolf is now top 300 and getting close matches with top 50 players. Proving narrow minded people like u wrong
Not anymore
JJ is now into the 3rd round at US Open
watching tennis on TV does not do any justice to how hard they are hitting the ball.... it looks slow on TV, watch it live and your opinion will change
How does this work? Is 18 and up is best of five?
The final of the 18s event at Kalamazoo is best of 5, since it's to prep them for the US Open Men's Singles.
Kypson playing us open today
Awesome
Is it just me or do these guys serve like cake out here
yea, mostly just kick serve to bh..
It’s just you
They have radar there. Both were topping out around 124.
guy in white and orange hits too many unforced errors.
But he has a nice bubble.
Is this the firs comment? Also this is quite boring they didn't get very good/long rallys...
Yes it was
No it wasnt.
Yellow is Explosive + Kicking Azz !
Good level
LETS SEE SOME RALLIES!!!!??
WHY WOULD YOU RALLY WHEN YOU COULD HIT A WINNER!!!!??
You realize there going for winners right Bc it’s an actual game?
Wish JJ would hit with less spin and more pace. This current style is so boring
It might be boring but for him this works so don’t judge him
JJ has added plenty of pace now. Playing at OSU was 100% the right decision, and he looks like he will be a really good if not great player.
these two are much worse than last years finalists
REALY well I think these 2 play an amazingly good tennis 🎾 its just me
Wolf has not done any worse on the pro tour than Mmoh and Kozlov.
that orange one is playing so bad
You'll get bageled playing him
He's top 100 in the world now lol
very bad backhand
bad backhand good enough to put him in the US open and top 200, learn before you talk, these guys are better than anyone here by a mile.
idk why but it looks like i can play an equal game with this guys(i am also 18) but i dont consider myself a pro
lol but prob not. wolf is top 200 atp now. remember that everything looks slower on camera

Unless you're top 100 in the world you can't
Wtf they're playing even below my level, and I'm a state U-16 champ on my 3rd year of tennis. Hard to believe that it's a final of a U-18 kalamazoo
This aged like milk
@Keshav Sundar he prolly doesn’t realize that the matches are slower on camera...
it amazes me how little you know about tennis after 3 years
You in top 100?
They aren t very good for their age
@Senuka Abeysinghe they just want attention.
casual lol
Bet you feel dumb
These kids are almost my level lol. They hit the ball like men
Not impressed
