IRISH TENNIS STAR Georgia Drummy has claimed her first professional title at the ITF Future Tour event in Amarante, Portugal.
The 19-year-old, who had come through two qualifying matches to reach the main draw, completed an excellent week by beating Justina Mikulskyte of Lithuania in Sunday’s tournament decider.
In her first professional event abroad, Drummy further demonstrated her exciting potential with a 7-6, 6-3 victory to claim the title, $15,000 in prize money and valuable world ranking points.
The Dubliner — a past pupil of Mount Anville College — made history in 2016 when she became the youngest Irish player to qualify for a Junior Grand Slam at the age of 15, defeating Helen Abigail Altick at the Australia Open.
She represented Ireland at the Youth Olympic Games last summer, and was recently named Vanderbilt’s rookie of the year after her first year studying at the Nashville university.
