Her mature court craft was evident against an opponent with plenty of experience on the lower tiers of the professional circuit.<\/p>\n<p>This week\u2019s conditions in New York simply do not exist in SW19: \u2018I\u2019ve only played a few times in this heat, I did a practice week in Miami the week before so that definitely got me prepared because it was so hot out there,\u2019 said the poised Klugman, on the cusp of making a wider name for herself. \u2018I\u2019m still a bit under radar, after Wimbledon I got recognised a little bit. It\u2019s a bit weird, my friends find it really weird.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/07\/07\/75154741-12490531-image-a-1_1694067099899.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Hannah Klugman (pictured) reached the quarter-finals of the junior US Open on Wednesday<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/07\/07\/75154747-12490531-image-a-2_1694067169472.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Her last-16 match was played in extreme temperatures but she came through it in straight sets<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Wimbledon is a bit more chaotic for me because I know a lot of people there, there\u2019s more pressure for me, I want to do well because I live there.

I take my computer away with me and stay in touch with my teachers.<\/p>\n<p>\u2019 I want to get my GCSEs at school for sure but that\u2019s so far ahead.
