Maia Lumsden, the 14-year-old from Glasgow, earned her first world ranking points at senior level when she won her final qualifying round match at the AEGON Pro-Series $25,000 Challenger at Scotstoun, Glasgow, yesterday.
She trounced Fatma Al-Nahbani, the second seed in the qualifying competition from Oman, 6-3, 6-0. One break of serve was all she needed to take the first set against a player with a world ranking of No.463 and Al-Nahbani's game then collapsed under relentless pressure from the young Scot. The win earns Lumsden a tie against England's Lisa Whybourn, the world No.298, in the main draw today.
