Below are the videos of the 16s Orange Bowl finals, which, due to good weather forecasts, were played consecutively on the Chris Evert Stadium pitch rather than simultaneously, as was the case for the J500 final the following day.
My article on the 18s will be available on the Tennis Recruiting Network on Monday.

The Next generation ATP finals conclude this weekend in Saudi Arabia, where two former colleagues from the United States will compete against each other in the semi-finals.
Student Ten (USC) defeated Nicolai Budkov Kjaer of Norway 3-4 (2), 4-1, 4-2, 4-2 to win the blue group, although he, Budkov Kjaer and University of Virginia sophomore Rafael Jodar all finished with 2-1 records. Ten won the first tiebreak, the percentage of sets won; Budkov Kjaer finished second after he and Jodar tied the set percentage, with the ultimate tiebreak for the second semi-final coming down to a head-to-head battle.
Alexander Blockx of Belgium finished 3-0 in the Red Group, while Nishesh Basavareddy (Stanford) reached the semi-finals with a 2-1 record after beating Justin Engel of Germany 4-3(3), 4-2, 4-3(5) today.
Basavareddy and Tien will play in the semi-finals, with Tien holding a 3-0 lead in their professional head-to-head clash. Tien defeated Basavareddy in the Bloomfield Hills Challenger final last year, in the semi-finals of the Knoxville Challenger later that year and in the first round of Wimbledon this year.
In the other semi-final on Saturday, Blockx and Budkov Kjaer will play for the first time, which is somewhat surprising since both were top juniors and have mainly played on the ATP Challenger circuit for the past year and a half.
