A report from Zootennis:

"Joshua Sapwell of Great Britain can count on substantially more attention for his victory in the boys 14s final, but like Mmoh, Sapwell was forced to mount a comeback, never an easy task in a major final. The top seed found his "A" game in the final two sets however, defeating unseeded Borna Coric of Croatia 6-7(2), 6-4, 6-3.

Serving down 5-2 in the opening set, Sapwell saved four set points in that game and broke Coric when he was serving for the set. Although there were more errors than winners in the tiebreaker that followed, it was Coric who stayed in the points longer, and he won the final four points to take the set.

Sapwell went down immediately in the second set when he was broken in the first game, but Coric wasn't able to hold that break or the next one, which gave him a 3-2 lead. Sapwell began to play much better midway through the set, and when he got two break points with Coric serving at 4-5 in the second, he took advantage immediately, holding his own in a lengthy forehand to forehand rally that ended when Coric finally hit one long.

In the third set, Sapwell got the first break to take a 3-1 lead, and survived a break point in the next game to take a 4-1 lead. Coric came back, winning the next two games, and Sapwell could have become discouraged when he lost a three-deuce game in which he had three double faults. But Sapwell broke Coric at love and suddenly found himself serving for the championship.

After his previous service game, in which he made almost no first serves, Sapwell's confidence could have been shaken, but it was not. When it most mattered, Sapwell got his first serve in, and on two of the points, he was able to use the one-two punch of big first serve and a third-shot forehand winner, a combination that Coric simply did not have in his repertoire.

"In weather like this you don't really want to be playing a point too long," Sapwell said of the temperatures in the mid-70s, with little breeze. "You obviously only get a certain amount of time between points, and cheap points here and there are always great. I had a bigger advantage with my serve, and I always feel with the players I play, I have a better return than them."

On match point, Sapwell missed his first serve, but made his second, and when Coric sent a backhand wide, Sapwell had his title, and Great Britain its second boys Orange Bowl winner of the month.

Sapwell counts Orange Bowl 18s champion George Morgan among his friends, and the fact that Morgan won the boys 14s title in 2007 wasn't lost on him.

"He's worked so hard, and for me to have the best chance of doing what he's done, I have to work hard as well," the 14-year-old from Bedfordshire said. "He's unbelievable."

Sapwell is returning to England for Christmas with his family, but is already looking forward to 2011."
"Next year, the hard work starts again."
