Swan has taken flight up the WTA rankings in remarkable fashion. Three years ago, she was positioned just outside the world’s top 100 and vying with Katie Boulter to be British No 1. Since then, the 27-year-old Bristolian has struggled with injury problems and took time off to rebuild. She even spent two months working as a coach at a club in Kansas, where her family moved when she was 14. 

However, never losing her love for tennis, she gave it another go in her mid-20s and has worked her way back up. Fourteen months ago, she was No 1,114 in the world, now she is inside the top 200. The £126,000 she will earn for making it this far means that she can travel with a coach.

This talented pianist, who told Telegraph Sport earlier this year that she would love to have therapy dogs courtside, was pictured on BBC Sport minutes ago in an England shirt. 

The Wimbledon title is not coming home – football probably is not either, based on yesterday’s nail-biting showing against DR Congo – but pulling off a win here would be a real coup in the biggest match of her career. 

Swan and Keys are due on court at 1pm BST.
