Fourteen-year-old Megan Knight has been awarded a wild card to play in qualifying at WTA 250 Eastbourne where Emma Raducanu will return to action.
Born in 2011, the Suffolk-born teenager is the daughter of former England cricketer Nick Knight, and was crowned singles champion in the 16U Lexus Junior National Championships this year to add to her 12U and 14U titles.
She is currently the best 14-year-old in the world by junior ranking at 158 (June 16, 2025).
Knight, who is seen as a natural ball striker, with an aggressive mindset and good technique, will face Hungarian world No 69 Anna Bondar in her opening qualifying match on Saturday.
If Knight makes it through qualifying, she will compete alongside British No 1 and former US Open champion Raducanu, who returns to the south coast this summer, hoping to build on her quarter-final appearance on debut last year.
