In the boys\u2019 13-and-under division, Christian Miller bested Nathan Nutting in the finals, 6-3, 6-1.<\/p>\n
Miller opened up the weekend with a 6-1, 6-4 decision against Jake Lee and was pushed to the limit by Dave Camacho in a 6-3, 2-6, 6-1 triumph. He won by walkover against Ron Florencio to become well-rested in the finals.<\/p>\n
Nutting scored consecutive wins against B. Song, 6-4, 6-3, brother Lucas, 6-4, 6-0, and Clay McCullough Stearns, 6-0, 6-1, to set up a finals match against Miller.<\/p>\n
