Christina Lyutova survives two match points to prevail 3-6, 7-5, 6-1 over No. 7 Anita Tu in USTA Billie Jean King Girls 16s National Championships final
Thirteen-year-old Christina Lyutova may have aged some going for the 16s title in this year’s USTA Billie Jean King Girls National Championships.
Hui is set to go for the crown at 1 p.m. against top-seeded Chervie Ngounoue, of Washington, D.C., who beat returning finalist Valerie Glozman of Bellevue, Wash., 6-0, 6-3. At stake is a berth in the U.S Open main draw. “I’d like to win many titles, but one by one,” said Lyutova, who doesn’t turn 14 until Feb. 2. “The first one is Wimbledon.”
“I stayed mentally tough and it helped a lot, especially on those match points,” Lyutova said. “I just kept playing. I just told myself, ‘It’s not over until it’s over.’ That helped a lot. I just stayed focused.” Tu gave little consideration to the fact that she turned out to be the elder player in the 16s match even though she just turned 14 on May 23.
Hui advanced to her first final in her farewell to the tourney in which she has played five times, starting at age 13.
