Dimitar Kuzmanov will arrive at the Wimbledon qualifiers today fresh from victory at the Liverpool International Tennis Tournament, which celebrated its 20th year in existence by showcasing more global stars of the future.
The Bulgarian number two saw off Englishman Marcus Willis 6-4 6-7 12-10 in the final to claim his first win on grass, while his 31-year-old opponent took the opportunity to announce a return to the ATP Doubles Tour next month, with the hope of getting the chance to play Gram Slam tennis once more.
In the woman's final, China's Qiang Wang beat Nadia Podoroska of Argentina 7-5 6-4 to claim her second triumph at the annual Liverpool tournament, having also won in spectacular fashion back in 2016. Both women's finalists will head to the Old England Club with some pedigree. Wang is currently coached by former Wimbledon Champion Pat Cash, with the Australian trying to help his client - who was once ranked as high as 12th in the world - regain her best form.
