Sofya Andreyevna Zhuk (Russian: Софья Андреевна Жук, IPA: ; born 1 December 1999) is a Russian tennis player. She won the 2015 Wimbledon Junior Girls title.
Zhuk trained at the Justine Henin Academy in Belgium and her coach was Olivier Jeunehomme. Her best win to date on the professional tour has been at a $60,000 tournament in Turkey, where she beat home favourite Ipek Soylu in the final.
When she won her first tournament at Shymkent, she became only the 17th 14 year old in ITF history to win an open tournament at that age, joining a group which includes former world No. 1s Justine Henin and Dinara Safina.
In 2015, Zhuk competed as an unseeded 15-year-old at Wimbledon, where she won the junior girls' title against fellow Russian and No. 12 ranked junior Anna Blinkova in straight sets, 7–5, 6–4. Zhuk did not drop a set in the whole Wimbledon tournament. Zhuk became only the second Russian to win the Junior Wimbledon Girls title, following the 2002 final when Vera Dushevina defeated compatriot Maria Sharapova.
