Early and personal life[edit]

Raised in Bearsden, near Glasgow from a family of five, her mother Gillian and father David[2] brother Ewen and sister Eve, two and four years younger, respectively.[3] Both siblings have played competitive tennis as juniors with Ewen progressing to the senior level.[4][5] Educated at Beaconhurst School, Bridge of Allan[6] later studying at nearby University of Stirling after returning to Scotland in 2016.[7]

Junior career[edit]

Recognized as young as age 10 as the best in Britain in her age group[8] and training at the national academy, University of Stirling,[9] under coach Toby Smith with mentoring by Judy Murray who said at the time that Lumsden may need to train abroad to realise her potential.[10]

By 2012, she was the No. 1 under-14 player in the Tennis Europe rankings[9] and Under-14 champion at the Junior Orange Bowl beating Gabriella Taylor 6–3, 7–5, in an all-British final.[11] The following year the two players teamed up to become under-16 British National Junior Champions in the doubles whilst Lumsden was also the under-16 singles champion.[12]

Gabi Taylor, Katie Swan, Freya Christie and Lumsden were members of the 2014 British team, coached by Judy Murray, which won the Maureen Connolly Challenge Trophy, an annual under-18s competition against the U.S.[13]

She won an ITF under-18 title in Malta and the Super Open Auray, and reached the third round in the girls’ tournament at Wimbledon.[14]

Lumsden was a member of Great Britain’s University Tennis Team that won a gold medal at the Master’U BNP Paribas Tournament in 2017,[15] and silver medal in 2018.[16]

Senior career[edit]

As a 14 year old, she won her first matches at ITF level beating England's Pippa Horn and Oman's Fatma Al-Nabhani, the second seed and world No. 463, to qualify for the Pro-Series event at Scotstoun.[17]

2017[edit]

Lumsden's first full year as a professional saw two individual title wins in Sunderland and the Wirral[2] and six ITF doubles finals, three of them as winner.

2018[edit]

Entering her home competition in Scotstoun, Glasgow as a wildcard, Lumsden lost to her Spanish opponent Paula Badosa in the final of the GB Pro-Series Glasgow or Scottish Championships.[18] In November, Lumsden claimed her first $25k title, beating former top 100 player Valeria Savinykh in the final.[19]

2019: WTA singles debut[edit]

In February, Lumsden lost at the quarterfinal stage of the $60k Shrewsbury event to top-seeded Yanina Wickmayer.[20]

She made her WTA Tour debut at the Nottingham Open in June, after receiving a wildcard to the main draw of the tournament,[21] winning her first match against fellow Brit Tara Moore,[22] then losing the following day to Caroline Garcia.[23]

2023: First Wimbledon quarterfinalist in doubles in 40 years, top 100 debut[edit]
