Sonay Kartal has set her sights on another tattoo, immaterial of what happens in the next round against Coco Gauff.
The inked-up 22-year-old Brit produced another assured performance to beat Clara Burel 6-3, 5-7, 6-3 and book herself an inevitable first appearance on a Wimbledon show court against American Gauff in the next round.
It was her fifth win of this Wimbledon campaign, having come through qualifying, and she has already banked a hefty £143,000.
Asked if she planned another tattoo to add to her collection if she pulled off a shock against Gauff, she said: "I think so. I think there will probably be a bet in place with my coach. He also has tattoos, he's pretty covered.
"There's always a joke in the slams that we play if I reach certain rounds et cetera there will be something. I think maybe despite the outcome, whatever it is, I think there could be one potentially."
Kartal is hoping Wimbledon officials schedule her on Centre Court tomorrow against the world No2. She first visited it as a seven-year-old during the tournament with her family — and still has a picture of the experience in her bedroom.
Now, with the prospect of finally playing there looming, she said: "Those are the moments you dream of as a little kid. If it is Centre Court, I'll be super-excited, super-proud. It's going to be a tough match. I'll give myself a good chance."
She faces a formidable challenge in trying to unpick Gauff, the US Open champion and one of the tournament favourites.
"There's a reason why she's No2 in the world," said Kartal. "I'm going to put all of that aside. I think I'm going to go on there, got nothing to lose and I'm just going to enjoy the moment and give it everything and see what I can do."
