Xu defeated her fellow British teenager and former Junior Billie Jean King Cup team-mate 6-3 7-5 in the final.<\/p>\n

Later in the day Xu teamed up with Ella McDonald to win the doubles title.<\/p>\n

In the singles final, the 18-year-old from Swansea made a strong start, winning five games in a row and breaking three times to storm out to a 5-1 lead.<\/p>\n

Stojsavljevic proved more solid on serve in the second set and the young Brit saved seven break points to stay in contention.<\/p>\n

However, with the scores locked at 5-5, Xu managed to seal the all-important break before serving out a landmark victory on her third match point.<\/p>\n

“It’s honestly felt amazing,” said Xu.<\/p>\n

“It’s been so good, the atmosphere, the crowd, the environment, I’ve loved every minute of it. I honestly have no words to describe how I feel at the moment.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
