Jack Kennedy may be out of the men’s singles main draw at the U.S. Open, but his time at the tournament isn’t over just yet.
Kennedy confirmed Sunday that he will play junior boys singles and junior boys doubles for the third straight year. He won the doubles title last year in Flushing, and he’ll defend his title with partner Keaton Hance.
“That's how I'll end my junior career,” Kennedy said.
Main draw play for the U.S. Open junior boys tournaments will begin next Sunday, Sept. 6.
