Brit girl wins US Open and plans Luke Littler-style celebration after springing huge shock to triumph unseeded
GOLDEN girl Mika Stojsavljevic became US Open junior champion and will celebrate with some New York chicken.
The 15-year-old Brit collapsed to her knees in celebration when she overcame Japan’s No7 seed Wakana Sonobe 6-4 6-4 on Court 12.
The unseeded star, who is 6ft and hails from Hammersmith in London, is Britain’s first girl to win this title since Heather Watson in 2009.
And with the miniature trophy in her hands, she said she would celebrate with a trip to a popular Mexican grill chain in Manhattan.
Stojsavljevic said: “I really want to go to the Rockefeller Center and see it from the top.
“And then also go to Chipotle or something. I love it.
“I’m super, super happy and grateful to my coaches for this week and my family supporting me back home.
“It was quite nerve-wracking, I had to trust my serve and treat it like any game.
“I like fighting, it’s so fun to compete and play every match. When you win it’s such a great feeling.
“I feel I have handled myself pretty well. I had some tough matches.
“I lost the first set in the first round but stayed as strong mentally as possible.”
Stojsavljevic’s celebration method resembles darts teen sensation Luke Littler’s post-match ritual as he also loves to commemorate a big victory with fast food.
Littler, 17, loves a good kebab and revealed his favourite order is a doner wrap with mayonnaise and lettuce.
The Nuke has also lifted the lid on his pre-match diet that consists of a ham-and-cheese omelette for breakfast and a pizza for lunch.
