The American defeated Italy’s Franceso Passaro 4-3(4), 4-2, 4-1 to cap a perfect record in group play at the under-21 year-end event.
Advancing took 61 minutes; “I know he has had a great year this year. I thought my level was really high today,” the winner said.
“It was nice to see it carrying over from yesterday. To come out and play like that was super special.”
