British teenager Mika Stojsavljevic achieved a significant milestone by securing her first main-draw win on the WTA Tour, defeating former grand slam champion Sofia Kenin in Hong Kong. Despite being granted a last-minute entry as a lucky loser, Stojsavljevic managed to win 6-3, 4-6, 6-4 in a match that lasted two hours and 19 minutes. This victory marks a notable achievement for the 17-year-old, who only found out she was playing an hour before the match.
