14-year-old Mimi Xu is already causing ripples among those tennis fans in the know.
Three challenging qualifying matches stand between the teenager, from Swansea in south Wales, and the distinction of being the youngest British player to compete at Wimbledon in the post-1968 Open era and possibly, if the sketchy records can be trusted, in 100 years.
