GB's Klugman, 17, claims first win on WTA Tour
British teenager Amelia Klugman, 17, won her first WTA Tour main-draw match in Nottingham, beating compatriot Harriet Dart in straight sets.
Amelia Klugman, a 17-year-old British tennis player, secured her first victory on the WTA Tour main draw on Saturday in Nottingham, defeating fellow Briton Harriet Dart.
Klugman first gained attention by winning the prestigious Orange Bowl junior championships in Florida at age 13. Past winners include world number seven Coco Gauff and 18-time major singles winner Chris Evert.
In 2025, she became the first Briton in nearly 50 years to reach the French Open girls' final, losing in straight sets to Lili Tagger. She has also contested two Grand Slam girls' doubles finals at Wimbledon in 2023 and the 2025 Australian Open.
She made her WTA Tour main-draw debut in Nottingham last year and made her first Wimbledon appearance a few weeks later, losing both singles matches.
Against Dart, Klugman's serve was particularly impressive: she hit six aces with zero double faults and won 77% of first-serve points. After a strong first set, she found herself 4-2 down in the second but reeled off four games in a row to secure victory.
Klugman is the only Briton to make the second round in Nottingham. She will face fourth seed Marie Bouzkova next.
Fellow Briton Alicia Dudeney, who also received a Wimbledon main-draw wildcard, lost 6-4 7-6 (7-2) to Ukraine's Dayana Yastremska.
