Career
Junior and early career
In 2001 he came in second to Jesse Levine in the U.S. Clay Court 14 Nationals, at the Jimmy Evert Tennis Center in Fort Lauderdale. He was up 5-love in the third set of the final.[3][4] Young had lost the first set, won the second, and was winning 5–0 and serving for the match at 40–15. They were already bringing in the table for the trophy presentation, when Levine ran off an astonishing 23 consecutive points, to defeat Young 7–5 in the third.[5]
In 2003, Young won the Orange Bowl 16-under title (defeating Thron), becoming the first American to win that age division title since Jim Courier in 1986.
He turned professional in 2004, but has mostly matches in Futures and Challenger events. Due to the slow start, his handlers were often criticized for pushing him too fast during the early stages.[6]
In 2004, Young reached the Orange Bowl 18-under final (l. to Neilly). He won the Easter Bowl 14s and 18s titles in 2003–04 and was named as Davis Cup practice partner for the quarterfinal tie against Spain in 2007.[2]
Young was, for a period of time in 2005, ranked the no. 1 junior player in the world. Young was the youngest male to win a Grand Slam event, winning the Australian Open Junior Championships in 2005. A record he held until the Australian Open in 2008, when Bernard Tomic won the event 2 months younger than Young. Young also won the U.S. Open Junior Doubles Championship with Alex Clayton.
In 2005, he became the youngest year-end world no. 1 in junior rankings at 16 years, 5 months (one month younger than Richard Gasquet in 2002). Young won the Australian Open junior title at age 15 to become youngest-ever and first African-American man to be ranked no. 1 in the world. He is also the first American to win the Australian junior title and finish no. 1 since Andy Roddick in 2000. He advanced to the semifinals at Wimbledon and quarterfinals at the US Open in 2005. In doubles, Young won the junior US Open title (with Clayton) and reached the final at Australian Open (with De Bakker). In 2007, he won the Wimbledon junior title and was the first American to win since Scott Humphries in 1994.
He won the 2006 U.S. Junior National Championship, as the world no. 1 junior, as Jesse Levine forfeited in the finals due to food poisoning.
2007
In January 2007 he reached the finals of a Futures tournament on the ITF Men's Circuit, as well as winning a Futures title in April. This was his biggest success in the professional ranks.
In July 2007, Young won the Junior Wimbledon title, beating number 1 seed Vladimir Ignatic 7–5, 6–1 in the final. Shortly thereafter, Young won a Challenger tournament and his ranking rose sharply to 221.
His rank rose sharply, from 92 to 7th on the Junior ITF circuit (as of July 13, 2007), after he won the Junior Wimbledon Championships. He opted to play only some of the grand slam tournaments in 2007, and concentrate on playing professional tournaments.
On August 19, 2007, Young won his first-ever ATP Tour level singles match. In the first round of New Haven he beat fellow American Amer Delic in three sets: 4–6, 6–3, 6–4. In the following round, he lost a tight three-setter to Russian Nikolay Davydenko 2–6, 6–4, 5–7.
Young then received a wild card into the main US Open draw. On August 27, 2007, Young defeated Australian Chris Guccione 6–7, 6–3, 6–2, 6–3 in the first round. This was his first career victory in a grand slam match. On August 30, Young won his second round match by default. It was against heavily favored opponent Richard Gasquet of France, who had fallen ill during the procession of the tournament and officially withdrew after morning practice. On September 1, Young fell in the third round to unseeded Feliciano López of Spain in 4 sets, 3–6, 6–3, 7–6, 7–5.
Young carried the momentum into the fall, making it to the finals of 4 challenger tournaments and posting an overall fall record of 21–7 on the challenger circuit.[7] This was enough to hoist him into the top 100 on the ATP rankings. He lost in the finals of the $50,000 JSM Challenger in Champaign, Illinois, at the University of Illinois, to Jesse Levine, 7–6, 7–6.
His talents were recognized by the Association of Tennis Professionals in December, 2007, as for Young was one of 11 honored in the 2007 Century Club[8]
