## Summary

British teenager Mika Stojsavljevic earned her first WTA Tour main-draw win by defeating former Australian Open champion Sofia Kenin at the Hong Kong Open. The 17-year-old had only an hour’s notice that she would play, having entered the draw as a lucky loser after losing in qualifying; the result marks a significant step in her move from junior success to the senior tour.

Ranked 411th, Stojsavljevic won 6-3, 4-6, 6-4 against Kenin, who is ranked 224 places higher. She hit six winners to Kenin’s none and saved three of the eight break points she faced. The Briton won the 2024 US Open junior title and reached the Birmingham WTA 125 quarter-finals earlier this year; she next faces world number 67 Zeynep Sonmez. Fellow Briton Katie Boulter lost to Claire Liu, ending her season.
