Sensational!

She hasn't dropped a set yet all tournament!!

And she's a qualifier!!

Make no mistake, this is one of the great BRITISH sporting stories of all time.

It is simply astonishing. She was ranked 338th in the world at the start of Wimbledon! It's just about equivalent to Whitehawk reaching the FA Cup Final.
