Vitali moved to the championship round after a 6-1, 6-1 victory followed by a 6-4, 7-6(5) victory in the championship match. Theo Billson (Lindfield, England/BHASVIC) also competed at the top draw, finishing third after falling in the semifinal.

The Warhawks had both spots in the championship match with Tyler Nelson (Waunakee, Wis./Waunakee) and Drew VanFossen. Nelson reached the championship after winning a close third set tiebreaker. VanFossen cruised to face his teammate after a 6-2, 6-2 semifinal victory. The two matched up on September 9th, with VanFossen narrowly coming out on top with a 6-7(3), 7-6(4), 10-8 victory.

Charles Morgan (Naperville, Ill./Central) and Will Ulrich (Lincoln, Neb./Pius X) also met as foes in the championship match at the #3 singles draw.

In the #6 singles draw, Keith Moeller claimed the Warhawks 9th crown of the invite. Moeller advanced to the semifinal after a close 7-6(4), 7-5 victory of Olivet Nazarene. Moeller then sealed the championship with a 6-3, 6-4 final match.
