Mika Stojsavljevic became the first British woman in 15 years to win the US Open women’s title by beating Wakana Sonobe in New York.
The 15-year-old claimed a 6-4 6-4 victory over Japan’s Sonobe.
It is the junior’s first Grand Slam title, her previous best run dating back to 2023, when she reached the quarter-finals at Wimbledon.
She is the first British girl since Heather Watson in 2009 to win the title at Flushing Meadows.
“I’m super happy and super grateful,” Stojsavljevic said.
“Thanks to my family for supporting me at home and thanks to the public here, you were amazing.”
Stojsavljevic knocked out No. 3 seed Iva Jovic of the United States in the semifinals on Friday, advancing to the second round of the women’s main draw.
She began playing tennis at the age of five at Ealing Lawn Tennis Club and cites five-time Grand Slam champion Maria Sharapova as her tennis idol.
In April, Stojsavljevic beat two-time Wimbledon quarter-finalist Tamira Paszek to win the ITF W35 Nottingham singles title.
