Klugman ends GB's long wait for Paris junior finalist

Teenager Hannah Klugman underlined her potential by becoming the first British player in almost 50 years to reach a French Open junior singles final.

The 16-year-old fought back to win 1-6 6-3 6-3 against 18-year-old Bulgarian Rositsa Dencheva on the Roland Garros clay.

"I'm just a bit shocked, to be honest," Klugman said

"I wasn't playing my best and I found it tough to get myself into the match.

"I felt like as soon as I did that I was in a good space and I thought I could do well if I got into the match.
