Jack Sock beat Denis Kudla 3-6, 6-2, 6-2 Sunday to win the U.S. Open boys' title in the first all-American junior final at Flushing Meadows in a decade.

Top-seeded Daria Gavrilova beat Yulia Putintseva 6-3, 6-2 in an all-Russian girls' final.

The 17-year-old Sock, a high school senior who grew up in Lincoln, Neb., is the first U.S. Open junior champion representing the United States since Andy Roddick in 2000. Roddick beat Robby Ginepri in that final.

Sock played with a wild card in the men's tournament, losing in the first round. He won the boys' 18s national championship last month.
