A British teenager has become the first tennis player from the United Kingdom to win a US Open junior title in 15 years.

15-year-old Mika Stojsavljevic defeated her Japanese opponent Wakana Sonobe 6-4 6-4 on Saturday to win the championship trophy in New York.

Stojsavljevic's victory came 24 hours after Jack Draper's semi-final defeat in the men's category to world number one Jannik Skinner.

The last British woman to win the girls' title at the US Open was Heather Watson in 2009, while Andy Murray won the boys' title in 2004.

Stojsavljevic followed up her impressive semi-final performance, in which she knocked out Iva Jovic – the 16-year-old American who reached the second round of the women's main draw – with another convincing performance in the final.

She said afterwards, “I really want to go to Rockefeller Center and see it from above. And then go to Chipotle or something. I think it's awesome.

β€œI'm super, super happy and grateful for my coaches for this week and for the support of my family at home.

β€œIt was quite nerve-wracking, I had to rely on my serve and treat it like any other match.

“I love fighting, it's so much fun to compete and play every match. When you win, it's such an amazing feeling.

“I feel like I've held my own pretty well. I've had some tough matches. I lost the first set in the first round, but I stayed as mentally strong as I could.”

British teenagers Mingge Xu and Charlie Robertson were defeated in the semi-finals of the girls' and boys' categories respectively.
