“In a word, amazing” is how Daria Snigur of Ukraine evaluates her season.

It has been a campaign during which the 17-year-old has been crowned Wimbledon girls’ champion, performed sufficiently well to be in contention for the year-end junior world No. 1 spot and landed blows in the professional ranks.

Snigur’s appearances in junior tennis this term have largely been reserved for the Grand Slams, and after knocking at the door at the Australian Open Junior Championships and Roland Garros Junior Championships, opportunity began to hammer loudly at the All England Club.

In a repeat of the Grade 1 Roehampton final from the previous week, unseeded Snigur overcame American Alexa Noel, although this time she was forced to rally form 4-1 down in the first set and recover from a 3-0 deficit in the second.

It is a victory that has allowed Kiev-born Snigur to walk with an additional swagger as she continues to dip her toe in the water and test herself on the ITF World Tennis Tour Women’s.

“I was not the favourite to win the Wimbledon title given my rating, but during the tournament I realised that I could become the best,” Snigur told itftennis.com.

“It was unexpected, very emotional and for a long time I could not believe what had happened. There were 12,000 fans on Court No. 1 and it was an honour to play there. I was nervous before and during the whole match, but it was so impressive to play there.

“The victory gave me confidence for the transition to the professional game.”

Her Junior Grand Slam victory has been complemented by successes at W15 Sharm El Sheikh, W25 Kashiwa and W25 Kiryat Shmona, although the ITF Junior Finals have continued to flicker on her radar.

Given that lofty and much-coveted status as a Junior Grand Slam winner, Snigur will be the highest-ranked girl at the ITF World Tennis Tour Junior Finals in Chengdu, which get underway on 23 October.

When battle commences in the Far East, Snigur, who is currently No. 4 in the ITF World Tennis Tour Junior Rankings presented by IMG Academy, will be fully aware that another stellar performance will likely see her seize top spot.

“Being one of the best eight juniors in the world is already fantastic – at the beginning of the year I couldn’t even dream about it,” said Snigur.

“I am looking forward to it and it will be a great experience for my career. Winning the tournament would mean that I’m the best junior in the world and finishing the year as world No. 1 would mean I’m heading in the right direction.

“I am 100 per cent sure of myself and my strength. I have worked very hard and I’m ready for the tournament.”

Victory on the hard courts of Chengdu would ensure Snigur follows in the footsteps of fellow Ukrainian Marta Kostyuk, who conquered the ITF Junior Masters, as it was then known, in 2017.

A matter of months later, Kostyuk was competing against Elina Svitolina, who is currently ranked No. 4 in the world, in the third round of the Australian Open's main draw. Irrespective of such strides, Snigur is determined to plough her own furrow.

“I do not look at others, I have my own way,” added Snigur. Looking at her season, it is hard to argue against the merits of such a mindset.
