Mimi Xu & Mika Stojsavljevic lose Wimbledon girls’ doubles final
Welsh tennis prospect Mimi Xu and fellow Briton Mika Stojsavljevic were beaten by American pair Tyra Caterina Grant and Iva Jovic in Sunday’s Wimbledon girls’ doubles final.
Swansea-born Xu, 16, and 15-year-old Stojsavljevic, from London, lost the first set 7-5 but battled back to win the second 6-4.
But it was second seeds Grant and Jovic who emerged victorious, winning the deciding set 10-8.
Xu and Stojsavljevic had reached a first junior Grand Slam final having beaten Julie Pastikova and Julia Stusek 6-4 6-1 in their semi-final.
Xu, who is number nine in the International Tennis Federation rankings, said last month she was “incredibly proud and humbled” to have broken into the top 10.
She reached the quarter-finals of the girls’ doubles at this year’s French Open with fellow Brit Hannah Klugman.
Xu also made the singles quarter-finals and the doubles semi-finals at the Australian Open in Melbourne in January.
