PORT WASHINGTON, N.Y. -- Top seed Rolf Hertzog of Switzerland overcame No. 3 seed Ricardo Camargo of Brazil, 3-6, 6-3, 6-2, Sunday to win the Boys' 18 final at the 10th annual Port Washington International Junior Tennis Championships.

Unseeded Brenda Schultz of the Netherlands won the Girls' 18 crown with a 6-4, 6-2 upset over sixth seed Olga Tsarbopoulou of Greece, thereby earning a special exempt into the main draw of a professional women's tournament starting in Chicago Tuesday.

After winning the first set, Camargo crashed into a wall in the second set and required a four-minute injury timeout. He dropped five games in a row in that set, and Hertzog was in command during the final set.

Both Hertzog and Camargo, who are 18, expressed a desire to play professional tennis.

Schultz, only 16 but standing 6-foot-1, used powerful, deep groundstrokes and a big service to upset Tsarbopoulou, who won the Girls' 16 division in 1983.
