For the 26-year-old, who’s ranked 52 globally, getting to the Round of 16 at London’s grand slam tournament has become the biggest success of her career and the first one since 2013, when she passed the third round at the US Open. While making recent advances on London’s grass courts, she's also won over fans on Instagram, prompting comments like “Lord you are the cutest tennis player i ever seen” and “Simply Amazing.”
