Michael Redlicki is headed to the Junior U.S. Open after winning the boys 16s singles title Sunday. Redlicki, the fourth seed from Hawthorn Woods, Ill., defeated top seed Shane Vinsant, Keller, Texas, 7-5, 6-4. “We had a really good match,” Redlicki said. “It’s a dream come true; all the year’s hard work, my whole life’s hard work; my coach, the blood, sweat and tears that went into it. “It wasn’t about who was better or who has the better history. I mean, we’re both really good players. Today I just wanted it more. “That’s what it came down to — the desire, putting everything into action. I wanted it more and I got it.”
