Julia Glushko will be looking to make her mark in her first appearance at Wimbledon, starting on Monday.

The in-form Israeli has climbed to 82nd in the ATP rankings following her excellent performance at the French Open, where she recorded a career-best victory over world no. 22 Kirsten Flipkens on her way to the third round.

Glushko, 24, has qualified for the main draw in the Ladies Singles for the first time and she hopes to impress the crowds in south London, playing some of the best tennis of her career.

Coach Assaf Ingbar said: "We're really satisfied with the progress that Julia has been making and we're confident going into Wimbledon.
