At just 15 years of age, Hannah Klugman could already be making her mark!

At just 15 years of age, Hannah Klugman could already be making her mark!

To the delight of the British people, Hannah Klugman is making history. At just 15 years of age, the 623rd-ranked player in the world, who still plays in part on the junior circuit, is just one match away from joining the main draw at Wimbledon.

Invited by the organizers to take part in the qualifying rounds, she has already beaten the odds on two occasions. She comfortably defeated the world's 265th-ranked player, Petra Marcinko (6-2, 6-2), before going one better in the second round.

Faced with Linda Fruhvirtova, ranked 147th in the world and the top seed in these qualifiers, Klugman made no mistake, winning her match quite miraculously (6-2, 0-6, 6-4). And so, this Thursday (on Show court 1), she will have the honor of playing in the final round of qualifying. Opposite her will be Alycia Parks (121st).

Should she win, it would be a colossal achievement, testifying to her insane precociousness. By way of comparison, the last player to qualify for a major draw at such a young age was Coco Gauff, who qualified for the main draw at Wimbledon 2018 when she was just 15 years and 122 days old.

Today, Gauff is world number 2. A sign of a bright future for Klugman? Only time will tell...
