British teenager Hannah Klugman won the biggest title of her career by defeating France’s Elsa Jacquemot 6-2, 6-4 in the Lexus Wrexham Open final, claiming the W100 title without dropping a set all week.
British Success Highlights High-Level Tournament in Wrexham
- The back-to-back British success at Wrexham—following Mimi Xu’s victory last year—highlights the tournament as a high-level event featuring success for young players.
Klugman’s Dominant Run to the W100 Trophy
The 17-year-old British player pressed world number 157 Elsa Jacquemot straight from the first game of the final. Despite missing her first two break-point opportunities, Klugman secured her reward just two games later. A double break sealed an emphatic first set before the Briton raced to a 5-1 lead in the second.
Jacquemot fought back to 5-4, but Klugman served out the victory at the second time of asking. The triumph makes her the youngest Briton to win a singles trophy at W100 level or higher. “I was shaking afterwards, but just so, so happy and proud of myself again,” Klugman said following the match, reflecting on the milestone.
Doubles Success and Tournament Context
Further British success at the event saw Freya Christie and Eden Silva defeat Japan’s Hiroko Kuwata and India’s Ankita Raina 6-2, 6-3 in the doubles final. The parallel victories show a dominant week for home players across the tournament draws in Wrexham.
