Kirkland tennis player Henrik Wiersholm, a 14-year-old currently competing on the ITF World Junior Circuit, won his first world title last weekend.

Wiesholm, won the title in El Salvador, winning three matches to qualify for the event, and then upset five seeded players to take the title.

He beat the No. 2 seed from Mexico in the second round, and beat top seeded Santiago Munoz Quiroga of Mexico 6-4, 6-2 to win the championship. He lost just one set in nine matches.

Wiersholm trains full time with the Northwest High Performance Tennis program in Kirkland.
