Emma Raducanu’s landmark US Open triumph continues to inspire a wave of young British tennis talent. Mika Stojsavljevic is the latest starlet making headlines, capturing the US Open Junior title and showing promise well beyond her years.
At just 16, Stojsavljevic remains grounded, balancing rigorous tennis commitments with academic goals. Her recent victory at the LTA Junior Nationals 18 & Under final earned her a Wimbledon qualifying wildcard—a testament to her rising stature.
Despite the spotlight, Stojsavljevic prioritizes her GCSEs, emphasizing discipline and time management. She acknowledges the challenge of balancing tennis and school but remains focused on long-term development both on and off the court.
The emergence of talents like Stojsavljevic, Hannah Klugman, and Mimi Xu reflects a strong junior pipeline, nurtured by the LTA’s development program. With rising stars in both the women’s and men’s ranks, British tennis looks set for a promising new era.
