Young Americans fared especially well. U.S. women—all under the age of 25—captured 20 Pro Circuit singles titles, while American men won 21 Pro Circuit singles titles, with only two of the men above the age of 25.  \nSamantha Crawford and Jared Donaldson amassed the most 2015 ranking points among the U.S. contingent, with several young players enjoying breakthrough performances in the second half of the year. Chief among them were Taylor Fritz, the world’s top-ranked junior and 2015  \nUS Open boys’ singles champion, who won back-to-back Pro Circuit titles in October, and Crawford, the 2012 US Open girls’ singles champion, who captured the first Pro Circuit title of her career in the final Pro Circuit event of the year. That title clinched for her the USTA Pro Circuit Australian Open Wild Card Challenge and a 2016 Australian Open main draw berth, and was her second consecutive wild card challenge win—she also captured the USTA Pro Circuit US Open Wild Card Challenge during the summer. Earning Grand Slam wild cards on the men’s side in the second half of 2015 were young Americans Bjorn Fratangelo (for the 2015 US Open) and Noah Rubin (for the 2016 Australian Open) .  \nAROUND THE CIRCUIT page 2  \nF I R S T S E R V E S  \nPro Circuit Staff Holds Year-End Meetings  \nThe USTA Pro Circuit ended another successful year with a series of staff meetings, which took place from November 30 through December 4.
