Australia has a new tennis star.
Maya Joint took out an enthralling Eastbourne Open final on Sunday morning (AEST), defeating Alexandra Eala in three sets.
It is the 19-year-old's second career WTA title, following on from her Moroccan Open triumph in May.
Joint began the match with confidence as she stormed to a 3-0 lead.

Her opponent broke serve in the ninth game, but the Australian responded with a break of her own to snag the opening set.
Eala, however, took complete control of the second set.
The Filipino found confidence in her serve and forehand to break Joint three times and send the match to a decider.
Eala's momentum continued in the first set as she took a 2-0 advantage, but Joint surged back to snatch a 4-2 lead.
This didn't last, though, as Eala broke back to make it 4-4. Both players then held serve to set up a thrilling championship tiebreaker.
Remarkably, Joint faced four match points, but saved them all with some courageous shot-making.
She then held her nerve to clinch a 6-4 1-6 7-6 (12-10) victory, becoming the first Australian player to win the women's title in the 50-year history of the British grass court event.
Watch the winning moment below:
"I'm very happy right now, feeling very relieved as well. It was a very difficult match," Joint said.
"I'm proud of myself for coming back and staying in the match, even though I'd lost about nine of the last 10 games."
It's exciting signs for the teenager ahead of Wimbledon.
The Michigan-born player is preparing to make her debut at the All-England Club and enters the season's third grand slam in top form.
Notably, she will surge into the top 50 for the first time as the world No. 41.
This career-high ranking will cement her as Australia's second-best female player behind the recently naturalised and current world No. 16 Daria Kasatkina.
"It's really great preparation. I've got a lot of matches in before Wimbledon, and hopefully I can be in Wimbledon a little bit longer than I was in the French," Joint said.
"I think this time's a tiny bit different. I get one more day of rest, and I'll just detach myself a little bit more from the last match, and just focus on the match coming up.
"But I'm just really excited to get to London later today and step into Wimby for the first time."
The first round at Wimbledon begins on Monday evening (AEST).
