Brogan goes close at Wimbledon, as Mcknight takes home Scottish Junior Open title

Brogan's thrilling Wimbledon run

Anna Brogan reached the final round of qualifying in a career-best run at Wimbledon.

After coming through the British wildcard play-offs, Brogan opened her qualifying campaign with a third-set win against world number 182 Victoria Jimenez Kasintseva 4-6 7-5 6-3.

The second round saw Brogan play Diana Shnaider. With the Scot taking the first set 6-3, Shnaider, ranked 98 in the world, fought back in the second to force a tie-break. Brogan, however, was able to hold her nerve in a thrilling breaker and eventually prevailed 9-7 to secure her place in the final round of qualifying 6-3 7-6(7).

For a place in the main draw, Brogan faced China’s Zhuoxuan Bai, who is currently ranked 191 in the world. Bai proved too strong on the day, coming through in straight sets 6-3 6-0 to put an end to Brogan's fantastic run.

Reflecting on her week, the Scot said: "It was just a really great event for me, I played three really good matches and enjoyed the whole experience.

"My opponent played better than me in the final round, but I'm proud of getting out there each day and giving it my best and I'm satisfied with the progress I'm making on court. It was a lot of fun."

Wimbledon begins for the Scots when Andy Murray takes to Centre Court on Tuesday against British wildcard Ryan Peniston.

Cam Norrie is also in action on Tuesday, kicking off his campaign on Court One against qualifier Tomas Machac of Czech Republic.

Six Scots will be competing in the doubles draw, which starts on Wednesday, before Gordon Reid and junior players begin in the second week.

Mcknight shines at Scottish Junior Open
