British Teen Hannah Klugman Stuns Tennis at French Open with Help From Jack Draper and Rafael Nadal
- British 16-year-old Hannah Klugman from Kingston-upon-Thames reached the French Open juniors final on 7 June 2025.
- Klugman earned this spot by defeating Rositsa Dencheva 1-6, 6-3, 6-3, making her the first Briton in almost 50 years to do so since Michelle Tyler in 1976.
- Klugman credited guidance from British player Jack Draper and advice from idol Rafael Nadal for helping her manage the pressure ahead of her Saturday final against Austria's 17-year-old Lilli Tagger.
- Klugman said, "I'm just a bit shocked to be honest" and noted she found it tough early on but is trying to enjoy the rare experience as her coach advised to "go out there and enjoy it."
- Her breakthrough suggests a resurgence of British juniors at Roland Garros, joining other British finalists including Joe Salisbury and Neal Skupski in men's doubles and Alfie Hewett in wheelchair singles finals.
