Hannah Klugman, a promising 16-year-old British junior who was the runner-up at the French Open girls' final, faced a tough match in her WTA main-draw debut against seasoned player Yulia Putintseva at the Nottingham Open. Klugman lost 6-2 6-2, struggling with her serve and adapting from clay to grass courts. Despite showing improvement in the second set, she couldn't secure a victory. Klugman reflected on her difficulties playing against a higher-ranked opponent and expressed gratitude for the support she received from the crowd.
"I felt very uncomfortable on my first match on grass, having done a long period on clay, so I struggled today."
"The crowd was amazing, as was the court. I just wish I could have played better."
