Karen Paterson is desperate to follow in the footsteps of childhood friend and British No.1 Andy Murray by gatecrashing the world's elite in 2007.
"I grew up with Andy Murray and his progress is a real inspiration," said Paterson. "We've always known that Andy is a talented player and his success pushes us all on.
"Winning last week was a good start to the season and now I just need to keep my form going - next week is very important for me.
"The Federation Cup is obviously a real goal but I'm also just trying to improve my rankings."
Paterson has set herself a target of progressing more than 100 places up the world rankings by the time the first ball is served at Wimbledon in June.
"My main goal is to be somewhere around the 300 mark in the next half of the year," added Paterson. "Wimbledon will be a great experience but I want to ensure my development continues at full speed in the coming months."
