Photo: GettyJack Sock is the latest American hero of Stanley Street - and looks headed for the top of his sport. "I'm trying to mature on and off the court, gain experience and play hard every match," said Sock. It was only the second three-set final in the past 10 years, and easily the best this decade. The intensity lifted in the second set and at 4-5, Sock was one winner from championship point. But the 27-year-old Sousa hung tough - winning the game with a second serve ace -- then broke the American when Sock double faulted.
