A 17-year old girl from Russia had taken everyone by storm, with her performance at SW19. The former World No.1 turned pro in 2001, at a tender age of 14 years old. The 2004 Wimbledon Championships was her first Grand Slam title, as she won a few more Grand Slams along the road. Sharapova beat then tournament fifth seed, Lindsay Davenport in the finals to clinch the title.

On the other hand, Eugenie won the girl’s double junior event with partner, Grace Min. The duo won the final against Demi Schuurs and Tang Haochen in 2011. Eugenie came close to winning the Wimbledon Championships singles final in 2014, when she lost to Petra Kvitova. The World No.140 missed out on the tournament this year due to a shoulder injury.
