Jasmine Conway is flying high at Wimbledon after reaching the quarter-final of the Girls’ Singles at the All England Club. 

Oxfordshire’s Conway, who is a member of the LTA’s Men’s & Women’s Programme, through which the governing body provides a range of support to players aged 16-21 with potential to progress towards competing in Grand Slams and representing Great Britain in Davis or Billie Jean King Cup, received a wildcard into the main draw and started her campaign with impressive straight set victories over Renáta Jamrichová and Ela Nala Milic to reach the third round.

And it was another highly impressive display by the 17-year-old on Wednesday as she eased to a 6-4 6-1 victory against Hayu Kinoshita to reach the last eight. 

The 17-year-old previously trained under the guidance of 1974 Wimbledon runner-up Olga Morozova, but more recently has trained at the LTA's National Tennis Centre in Roehampton.

And after becoming the last Brit standing in the draw, she is refusing to look too far ahead as she adjusts to life on the surface.

“I’m happy to be in the quarter-finals. I didn’t expect to be in the quarter-finals as I hadn’t had a lot of grass court practice. This is good experience for me,” she said.

“I feel I’ve been serving well. I feel like that’s helped me through these matches and definitely helped me win the match today and in my first two rounds as well.

“I’d say my second round [against Nala Milic] was best. I thought I served quite well in that match, obviously my score [6-3 6-0] was probably the best in that match too.

“I definitely feel like I’m still learning on grass, but I feel a lot more relaxed on it than I was last week. It is very difficult, you have to stay lower and you can get funny bounces, so you just have to make more adjustment steps on it and expect those bounces, and not set too early.

“I’m just taking it match-by-match but I’m happy to be in the quarter-finals and I’ll try and do my best. I try not to think about it as if you get too ahead of yourself, it takes you away from the process of the matches and what you have to think about in the matches. 

“I’m just trying to focus on each match as it comes and try and focus on my game in these matches.”

Up next for Conway is 16th seed Linda Klimovičová and while the Brit admits she is not too familiar with her Czech opponent, she is looking forward to once again playing in front of home support.

Conway added: “I don’t know too much about her. I’ve maybe seen her play a few points at another ITF. She’s very aggressive. I’ll try and watch a bit of her match and I’ll just do my best.

“My mum was here today. My dad and my little brother were here for the first two rounds. My mum is just sat in a little corner. I’m sure she gets very nervous, before matches she likes to be very quiet, read a book - I can tell she gets nervous but she tries not to show it!

“I’m really enjoying it. I feel like everyone is behind me because I’m British and I played on Court 12 which was a lot bigger for me. I think I use their energy to help me and it’s really fun to play here as well. 

“Maybe at the start of my matches I feel a few nerves, but I feel like I settled into my matches well and it’s a really nice place to be!”
