Dylan Meineke captured two gold balls at the USTA Boys 12s Clay Court Championships at the USTA National Campus in Orlando, Florida.

The top-seeded Meineke battled No. 2 Tristan Ascenzo to a 7-6 (4), 4-6, 6-4 victory in the championship tilt. It turned out to be an all-Texas final, as Meineke hails from Frisco, while Ascenzo is a resident of Dallas.

Earlier, the third-seeded duo of Meineke and Adrian Sharma (Porter Ranch, California) won the doubles crown with a 6-1, 6-4 decision over the No. 5 pair of Ascenzo and Sebastian Zavala (Allen, Texas).

“I just had to stay positive in the tournament and not put pressure on myself,” said Meineke, on winning two gold balls. “I hit the ball with a purpose (in singles), and I played my game and took my time.”
