The 16-year-old Canadian was the top seed and beat American Emma Navarro 6-3, 6-2 on Saturday. Fernandez was the top seed and also reached the final at the Australian Open earlier this year.

She's the first Canadian girl to win a junior Slam since Eugenie Bouchard won Wimbledon in 2012.

Holger Vitus Nødskov Rune won the junior boys' title over American Toby Alex Kodat, 6-3, 6-7 (5), 6-0.
