British teenager Hannah Klugman won the biggest title of her career with an impressive performance against Elsa Jacquemot in the final of the Lexus Wrexham Open.<\/p>\n
The 17-year-old defeated her French opponent 6-2 6-4 to clinch the W100 title without dropping a set all week.<\/p>\n
She becomes the second successive British player to win the Wrexham title after Wales’ Mimi Xu last year, and is the youngest Briton to win a singles trophy at W100 level or higher.<\/p>\n
Klugman pressed the world number 157 straight from the first game. Despite missing her first two break-point opportunities, she got her reward just two games later.<\/p>\n
A double break for the Briton sealed an emphatic first set, and she picked up where she left off in the second, racing to a 5-1 lead.<\/p>\n
In the biggest match of her career so far, Klugman had to fight to get over the line. Jacquemot got back to 5-4 before the home favourite served out the victory at the second time of asking.<\/p>\n
“I was shaking afterwards, but just so, so happy and proud of myself again,” said Klugman.<\/p>\n
“It’s been such an amazing week and to top it off with a win at such a high-level tournament, these are big moments for me as a young player.”<\/p>\n
More British success followed as Freya Christie and Eden Silva beat Japan’s Hiroko Kuwata and India’s Ankita Raina 6-2 6-3 in the doubles final.<\/p>\n
