Priscilla Hon has more than earned a first ticket into the Wimbledon main draw.

Six attempts and six heartbreaks for the Australian were completely eradicated as Hon saved five match points to reel in teenage sensation Victoria Mboko 4-6, 7-6(4), 6-1 on Thursday. 

“It’s huge to finally get into the main draw,” said the world No.137. “I have no idea how I did that! Apparently, I was down five match points, but I only remember three of them!

“I was just trying to play point by point. I felt completely out of it. It was my third time in the final (Qualifying) round and I thought, ‘Great, it’s happening again'. I’m glad I kept fighting.

“There really is nothing like Wimbledon, so much tradition, I can’t wait and I'm very excited to play.

“It helps that my coach is Cara Black, she’s won loads of Slams in doubles and done really well in singles. I’m glad I could execute all she has taught me today.”

The youngest player in the Top 100, Iva Jovic, continues to show her Grand Slam pedigree with a 6-3, 7-6(2) victory versus world No.134 Katarzyna Kawa, sending the American into a fourth successive major main draw.  

“It feels so good. I'd gotten wild cards for the other main draws I'd played. So it was a little intimidating to know that I'd have to win three matches in a row, because I've never had to do that before,” said the 17-year-old.

“It really does feel a lot better because you can feel fully confident that you deserve to be there. And you also have the match count that the other players that are directly in the tournament don't have. I feel like it's a huge advantage right now.”

Jovic, a semi-finalist in the Wimbledon juniors last year, fine-tuned her grass court game by taking the WTA 125 title in Ilkley last week and is primed to carry this form over to The All England Lawn Tennis Club.

“I'm feeling really confident on the grass right now, so I think I have a good shot against anyone that I pull, so it's just a good feeling,” added Jovic, who wore a strawberry design earrings and necklace combination.

“Wimbledon means a lot to me. It's the tournament that you grew up watching on TV. If I would win any tournament, I would want it to be Wimbledon. It's kind of the ultimate goal in tennis, I think. So to be able to play is just a dream come true.

“The strawberry earrings were a little bit of a manifestation, a present from my mum, so I'm glad it worked and I'm going to keep them on.”

No.15 seed Elsa Jacquemot denied her fellow Frenchwoman Alize Cornet a dream Wimbledon finale with a 7-5, 6-1 scoreline. Another French player is celebrating, as world No.90 Diane Parry overcame Australia’s junior world No.1 Emerson Jones 6-2, 6-2.

However, the green and gold ranks were soon cheering when Australia’s Talia Gibson defeated No.10 seed Solana Sierra 6-4, 3-6, 7-5.

Taylor Townsend secured another shot in the main draw, prevailing 6-3, 6-3 in a duel with Celine Naef.

Canada’s Carson Branstine, who edged Bianca Andreescu in the second round, reeled in Raluka Serban 4-6, 7-6(6), 6-2 to chalk up a Wimbledon debut.
