Britain’s Francesca Jones has checked off a series of milestones over the past two months.
Just over six weeks ago, the 24-year-old won the biggest title of her career at a WTA 125 event in Contrexeville, France.
A second triumph at that level – the rung below the main tour – swiftly followed in Palermo.
That led to her cracking the world’s top 100 for the first time, ultimately moving up to 86th in the rankings.
Now, she has secured a maiden main draw appearance at the US Open after coming through three rounds of qualifying as the top seed.
She secured wins at WTA 75 events in Varcaria and Prague, qualified for her first WTA 1000 event in Madrid and earned wins on the WTA Tour events at Nottingham and Eastbourne.
