Wimbledon: Liv Hovde clinches girls' junior singles title

London: United States's Liv Hovde defeated Luca Udvardy of Hungary 6-3, 6-4 to clinch the Wimbledon 2022 junior girls' singles title, here on Saturday.

On a full No. 1 Court, the 16-year-old Hovde of Texas took 1 hour and 13 minutes to take down Udvardy and win her first junior Grand Slam title. Hovde's previous best showing at a junior major was a semifinal result at this year's Australian Open.

"It feels amazing and I can't even believe it. There were a lot of people, so it was very nerve-wracking at the beginning, but then I just focused on myself, and it got better throughout the match," said Hovde in her post-match press conference.
