Harmony Tan is making a name for herself at this year’s Wimbledon after her monumental upset over Serena Williams. Tan continued her impressive form by beating Sara Sorribes Tormo in the second round to progress into the women’s singles draw.

However, the Frenchman withdrew from the doubles tournament with Tamara Korpatsch a day after the biggest win of her career. Korpatsch was left frustrated even posting a lengthy rant about her teammate’s decision to pull out at the last minute.
