Teenager Mika Stojsavljevic ensured there was British success at the US Open as she became the junior champion.
The Londoner beat Wakana Sonobe 6-4 6-4 to become the first Briton to win the girls' tournament in New York since Heather Watson in 2009. Stojsavljevic followed up her impressive semi-final display, where she ousted Iva Jovic - the 16-year-old American who made it to the second round of the main women's draw - with another assured performance.
'When I was serving for it I knew I just had to trust myself and treat it like any other game so I think I did that quite well. 'I love fighting. I think it's so fun to compete and to play every match - I really enjoy it. And obviously when you win it's such a great feeling.' While Stojsavljevic claimed glory, Mingge Xu was a beaten semi-finalist as was Charlie Robertson in the boys' tournament.
