ORLANDO, Fla. – June 20, 2017 -- When you think of Florida tennis greats, names such as Andy Roddick and Jim Courier spring to mind. Now add Fleming Island teen Logan Zapp to the list.

The rising high school sophomore last week won the state Boys’ 16s title at the USTA Florida “Bobby Curtis” Junior State Singles Championships, the biggest USTA junior tournament of the year, at the new USTA National Campus in Orlando. In the final, Zapp defeated No. 8 seed Matthew Segura of Apopka 6-4, 6-1. A raw talent without a coach, Zapp turned around an 0-3 start in the first set to win 12 of the next 14 games.

“It was basically trying to warm up and get a feel,” said the soft-spoken Zapp following the final. “Then I was like, ‘OK, I can come back now.’ I tied it back up at 3-all and got the momentum and everything switched.”

Zapp’s route to the championship match came from wins of 7-5, 6-1 in the round of 64, 6-2, 6-3 in the round of 32, 6-3, 6-2 in the round of 16, 6-3, 6-0 in the quarterfinals, 6-3, 6-7 (4), 6-3 in the semifinals and 6-4, 6-1 in the finals against Segura. In his semifinal, Zapp faced off against Pembroke Pines senior Eugene Clur for the overtime win.

Andy Roddick (1996 Boys’ 14, 1994 Boys’ 12 champion) and Jim Courier (1986 Boys’ 18 champion) are former world No. 1-ranked players who worked their way up the junior rankings by winning “Bobby Curtis” titles en route to the pro tour.

For the time being Zapp says collegiate tennis is his target, looking forward to competing “anywhere I can play.”

The USTA Florida “Bobby Curtis” Junior State Championships is the most competitive USTA Section junior championships in the U.S., spawning the most players of any USTA Section to go on to the professional circuit and rank No. 1 in the world. Former “Bobby Curtis” champs who have gone on to rank No. 1 in the world on the ATP and WTA rankings are Roddick, Courier, Chris Evert (1971 Girls’ 18, 1970-69 Girls’ 16, 1968 Girls’ 14, and 1966 Girls’ 10 champion) and Jennifer Capriati (1986 Girls’ 12 champion).
