Thilo Behrmann's successful run in the US Open junior competition has ended in the semifinals.

The 18-year-old lost to top-seeded Brazilian Luis Guto Miguel in two sets, 4:6, 4:6. It was the Burgenländer's first semifinal appearance at his last Grand Slam tournament at junior level.

In the first set, Miguel secured a break for a 2-1 lead, and the 17-year-old then confidently served out the set.

The second set started poorly for Behrmann with a lost service game, but he immediately got the rebreak to level at 2-2. However, Miguel broke his serve again straight away and, after 1 hour and 30 minutes of play, advanced to the final.

There, Miguel will face US local favorite Marcel Latak, who defeated Germany's Jamie Mackenzie 6:3, 7:6 (2).
