2025 FINALS DAY RESULTS
CONGRATULATIONS to Middlesex’s Mika Stojsavljevic and Surrey’s Oliver Bonding who were crowned singles champions at the 2025 18U Lexus Junior National Championships tournament after two high-quality finals at the LTA’s National Tennis Centre.
As well as the title of Junior Nationals champion, Stojsavljevic and Bonding receive wild cards into the Qualifying event of The Championships, Wimbledon, as well as a guaranteed place in the main draw of The Junior Championships, Wimbledon.
2024 US Open Junior Champion and top seed Stojsavljevic overcame No.2 seed Hannah Klugman from Surrey in the Girls’ Final, battling back from a set down to seal a 3-6, 6-2, 7-5 victory in a compelling match that lasted two hours and seven minutes.
In the Boys’ final, 2024 18U champion Bonding from Surrey emerged victorious again as he beat Kent’s Benjamin Gusic Wan 6-2, 6-3, with his powerful serve proving to be a potent weapon on the hard courts at the LTA’s National Tennis Centre.
