Lumsden will face the French star in the second round of the Wimbledon warm-up tournament on Thursday after disposing of fellow Brit Tara Moore in a rain-delayed first round match.

The 21-year-old, originally from Bearsden before moving to Lenzie, came through 6-3 7-6 to earn the chance to play Garcia, as French Open quarter-finalist in 2017.

Garcia got as high as number four in the world last year before dropping to her current ranking of 28.

Lumsden, currently ranked a career high 280, was given a wildcard for the tournament after reaching the final of the recent ITF tour event in Goyang, Korea.
