Xu and Stojsavljevic beat Czech Republic’s Julie Pastikova and Germany’s Julia Stusek 6-4, 6-1 to reach their first career junior Grand Slam final.

They are the second all-British duo to reach the final and the second in as many years after Hannah Klugman and Isabelle Lacy finished runners-up last year.

In the final, they are set to face either second seeds Tyra Caterina Grant and Iva Jovic or sixth seeded Emerson Jones and Vittoria Paganetti, as they bid to become the first British girls' doubles champions in 30 years.

Ahead of the final, get to know the two British finalists and their journey to this point so far in South West London...

Get to know Mimi Xu

16-year-old Xu was born and grew up in Swansea, South Wales with parents Wendy and Tony.

She was first introduced to tennis at just three years-old by her neighbours and after joining Swansea Tennis Club to be coached by David Williams, she quickly developed into a strong junior player.

Her talents led to her joining the LTA National Academy in Loughborough where she was able to take her game to the next level, surrounded by world class facilities and coaching. Xu said that the Academy helped her ‘become more independent and mature as a person’ during her time there.

At the age of 14, Xu won the well-renowned Lexus Junior National Championships at both the 16U and 18U level, which she then replicated again in 2024 – beating compatriot Hannah Klugman in a high-quality final.

These are just a few of many accolades – including 13 ITF junior titles (three singles and 10 doubles). All three of her singles titles have come on hard courts – lifting trophies at the J4 Loughborough (2021) and J300 Beijing and J300 Repentigny (2023).

In recent years she’s formed a formidable doubles partnership with current junior world No.7 Klugman, but her most recent title came alongside Stojsavljevic at the J300 Beijing last year.

Xu's best Grand Slam results came at the Australian Open earlier this year where she reached her first major quarter-final in the singles before making the semi-final of the doubles with Klugman.

In November, Xu was also instrumental in a Junior Billie Jean King Cup campaign that saw Great Britain finish third out of 16 nations after reaching the semi-finals.

Now supported by our Pro Scholarship Programme, presented by Lexus – the highest level of support offered to developing players aged 16-24 with the best chance of reaching the ATP/WTA top 100 within five years – the junior world No.9 has started to make her mark on the professional tour as well.

Following a breakthrough semi-final run at the W60 Glasgow last year, Xu has gone on to win her first ITF World Tennis Tour title in the doubles of the W15 Monastir with Radka Zelnickova.

Xu will be aiming to replicate the achievements of her tennis hero Bianca Andreescu on Sunday as she bids to capture her first Grand Slam title in the junior doubles draw at a major.

Get to know Mika Stojsavljevic

Born in Hammersmith, London, 15-year-old Stojsavljevic lives and grew up in Ealing as one of a family of five and is the daughter of Serbian father, Peter, and Polish mother, Ewa.

It was after watching her brother Savo playing that she first picked up a racket aged seven at the David Lloyd Acton.

Stojsavljevic then went on to play at Ealing Lawn Tennis Club working with coach Andrew Lewandowski and her talent was clear to see early on. Despite growing up playing a lot of sports – reaching a national level in swimming – tennis soon became her one true passion.

As her talent grew and grew, so did the results. She won her first of four ITF junior singles titles at the J5 Nastola in 2022 aged 13, before lifting the J100 Loughborough and Glasgow last year and the J200 Nonthaburi earlier this year.

Over the last few years, she has been supported by the LTA National Academy in Loughborough, where she has been able to work and develop her game under the tutelage of her current coach, Mark Taylor. Stojsavljevic says that the experience in Loughborough has ‘really helped her develop as a player and person’ praising the ‘amazing’ environment at the university.  

Last year, Stojsavljevic also got the opportunity to represent her country at the 16U Tennis Europe Winter Cup, where she joined forces with Abby Kelliher and Allegra Korpanec Davies to finish runners-up.

Having reached the quarter-finals of the juniors singles at Wimbledon last year, Stojsavljevic has made the most of her opportunities in 2024 and has made her first steps into competing on the professional tour.

She not only qualified and made the quarter-finals at the W50 Roehampton in February, just two months later she won her first senior level title at the W35 Nottingham – beating France’s Julie Belgraver 7-6(7), 6-3 in the final. Stojsavljevic says that this was the highlight of her career so far.
