Tracy's words were also reported by the EssentiallySports site. She said: "She will go all the way in Wimbledon, she will make a sensation again this time. Of course we all remember her a couple of years ago when she came from the qualifiers, going to defeat Venus Williams in the first round, it was an incredible match. But she didn't just do this, she went up to the fourth match."
