From Rags to Riches - Road to Wimbledon Glory


A few weeks ago we talked about following players from the start of their Wimbledon journey to the eventual winner. With no pre qualies, it therefore seemed reasonable to start in qualies at the first stage. Im not sure who the lowest ranked in each event are , but selecting our national under 18 wild cards seems a good place.

So , we start with Will Jansen and Eva Shaw! 

ill pop up profiles later but anyone who wants to comment on them and their backgrounds, please , please do. 

when their opponents are known we can look at them also , and then round by round until we have a champion !

Anton must be hot favourite to beat Will but its a big match for both players Id say.

 Im not entirely sure how they do these things on tv etc so decided to just profile both opponents... but clearly supporting Will as the incumbent holder of the crown into this first match!
