Rising star Alexei Popyrin has won his first professional singles title in Poland.
The 17-year-old wildcard entry won five matches to claim the ITF Futures clay event, including a 6-3 3-6 6-3 victory over top seed Lithuanian and world No.251 Laurynas Grigelis in the final.
It extends his current winning streak to 22 matches (across both the ITF junior and professional circuits). He has now won the past four singles events he has contested, including becoming the first Australian to win the French Open boys’ singles championship in 49 years last month.
