The University of Bath-based player won the under-19 women's singles title and joined forces with Lydia Powell to win the doubles.

Seeded 5/8 for the singles, Hopton beat Ira Banerjee, England's under-19 national champion, in the quarter-finals, before defeating France's Joanna Chaube in the final.

Hopton and Powell, seeded 3/4 for the doubles, beat top seeds Banerjee and Jessica Pugh in the all-English final.

Hopton has trained at the University of Bath for six years.
