ANNA BROGAN crashed to earth with a bump yesterday after a narrow 6-4, 6-4 defeat to Anastasia Potapova, a hugely talented 14-year-old from Russia, in the third round of the girls’ singles.

Typically, though, the Glaswegian swiftly picked herself up again to record a 6-3, 3-6, 6-2 victory with partner Freya Christie in the doubles competition against Viktoria Kuzmova and Beatrice Torelli of Italy.

“It was a big of a mixed day for me but at least I ended it on a high,” said Brogan, who had become the first British junior to knock out a No.1 seed at Wimbledon since Laura Robson in 2008 when she overcame Marketa Vondrousova of the Czech Republic two days ago.

“I was disappointed to lose in the singles because I had chances and was right in it but I didn’t capitalise.

"Anastasia is only 14 and is a good player. She was plying seriously aggressive tennis and really putting me under pressure. I was on the back foot a lot and I wasn’t quite as solid as I was in previous rounds.

“But the doubles was good, I enjoy playing with Freya and we had fun on the court,” added Brogan, who was watched by Judy Murray for the first couple of games on Court No.18.

“It helped me get over my defeat because you can sit around and be quite flat after a loss. It was good to get back out there and I think we can go far in the doubles.”

However and whenever her doubles campaign ends, Brogan said she was delighted with what has been a mini breakthrough tournament for her.

Based out in Bradenton, Florida, Brogan mainly plays in senior events, and after a brief break in her native Glasgow she will return to challenger events in the USA.

“The atmosphere was good again and Judy got out for a few games,” said Brogan. “I like to know she is there, because my instinct is to look for her and I always hear her.

"This week has been a confident booster, playing at Wimbledon and winning matches. There has been a bit of a buzz back home and I’ve had quite a few messages. I’ve enjoyed myself, that’s for sure.”

Another Scottish winner on the day was Maia Lumsden and Ingrid Neel, who ran out 6-3, 7-5 winners against No.5 seeds Julia Estable and Wushuang Zheng.
