Eighteen-year old Noah Rubin of Rockville Centre, N.Y. has won the USTA Boys 18s National Championship singles title to earn a main draw wild card into the U.S. Open, defeating Sacramento’s Collin Altamirano, the defending champion, 6-4, 6-4, 6-3, at Kalamazoo College in Kalamazoo, Mich.

Rubin, who won the Wimbledon Boys Singles Title in July, also earned a wild card into the U.S. Open Doubles main draw after winning the USTA Boys 18s doubles title on Saturday, with 16-year old Stefan Kozlov of Pembroke Pines, Fla. Rubin defeated Kozlov in the first all-American Wimbledon boys final since 1977.

Rubin will make his Grand Slam main draw debut in his hometown. He trains out of the John McEnroe Tennis Academy in Randall’s Island, N.Y., where he is coached by Lawrence Kleger. Rubin is set to play his college tennis at Wake Forest this year, while Altamirano is headed to Virginia.
