The finals are set for the Boys 18 & 16 Super Nationals Championships. At least, they are for the Doubles Championships.

In the 16s Division, suprise finalists Eric Roberson of Sacramento CA and John Pettit of Monterey, CA, seeded 14th, play Brendan Evans of Key Biscayne, FL and Brett Joelson of Austin, TX, the 4th seeds. The 16s Doubles finals are scheduled to start at 2:30 pm, provided the singles Semi Finals are finished by that time. Both teams had to upset higher ranked teams in order to reach the final.

For Pettit and Roberson, upsetting highly ranked opponents is not a new endeavor. Their road to the finals took them through the top ranked team of Sukhwa Young and John Isner in the Round of 16, and the 6th ranked team of Adam Fass and Ryan Rowe in the Quarter Finals. In Semi Final action on Friday, Pettit and Roberson upset 8th seeds Nestor Briceno of Pembroke Pines, FL and Vahid Mirzadeh of Lake Worth, FL 6-3, 6-4.

In the other semi-final, the 4th ranked team of Brendan Evans of Key Biscayne, FL and Brett Joelson of Austin, TX upset the 2nd seeds, Jarrett Chirico of Bradenton, FL and Wayne Odesnik, of Weston, FL 6-2, 3-6, 6-4.

In 18 Doubles Semi Final action, 2nd seeds Rajeev Ram of Carmel, IN and Jonathan Stokke of Hilton Head Island, SC, overcame the 16th seeded team of Todd Widom of Coral Springs, FL and Jordan Dolberg Pembroke Pines, FL 6-4, 6-3.

In the other Semifinal match-up, 7th seeds Ytai Abougzir of Naples, FL and Alex Bogomolov of Miami, FL ended the great run of the 14th seeded duo Brent D'Amico of Aurora, CO and Philip Sheng of Thousand Oaks, CA, beating them 6-1, 6-0.

Ram and Stokke (2), last year's 16s Doubles Champions, will go for two titles in row on Saturday against Abougzir and Bogomolov. The championship match is scheduled for 3:30 pm, provided that previously scheduled matches have concluded.
