Mirjam Björklund, with the legendary Jonas Björkman as coach, qualified for the French Open earlier this summer.
There she fell in her grand slam debut and went out in the first round.
Now she qualifies for Wimbeldon.
On Tuesday night, she competed with the experienced Italian Sara Errani in the first qualifying round.
It was a thrilling match over almost three hours.
In the end, Björklund was able to win 7-5, 4-6, 7-6 (6) after match tiebreak, which was previously called super tiebreak.
In the second qualifying round, the Australian Storm Sanders is waiting.
