With such a great start to the grass season, especially from Boulder and Draper, it got me wondering: I was a kid in the early 90s and vaguely remember our top male and female players only having a ranking in the 400s. I could be likely misremembering, this would have been somewhere between 92-94 just before the emergence of Henman and Greg etc. So probably a declining Jeremy Bates, and (I also seem to remember) and British woman with an American accent that got double bagled in round 1 of Wimbledon. 

 

Anyway, with us now having quite a healthy group in and around the top 100, does anyone know the answer to this question?

 I think you're referring to US Brit  Monique Javer who was never double bagelled at Wimbledon, but she was at Roland Garros.

And Lucie Ahl was briefly British No. 1 with a career high ranking of No. 161. But Clare Wood was once year-end No. 1 ranked No. 186.

 The British player from that era who was double bagelled at Wimbledon was Clare Wood. That was  by Arantxa Sanchez in 1997.

 That was Clare's last ever match. She had a career-ending hamstring injury and probably shouldn't have played.
