Success can lead to further opportunities in life, but for a string of Australian players who fulfilled a dream when qualifying for Wimbledon, it also prompted a logistics puzzle.

Flights home were changed, holidays were put on hold and accommodation websites were pored over, but all were good problems to need a solution for.

For first-time qualifier Zoe Hives, a successful week at Roehampton prompted a mad scramble for new accommodation ahead of her clash with No.5 seed Maria Sakkari on Monday.

“I did say it was a good problem to have but I didn’t obviously think it was a problem I was going to have,” she said.

The 25-year-old is on the comeback trail from a serious blood circulation illness that left her bed-ridden, listless and unable to compete on the Tour for the best part of two years.

Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, better known as POTS, struck Hives just when she was on the verge of breaking into the top 100.

When the illness was at its most serious, Hives struggled to walk to her mail box, let alone complete a five-minute walk around the block of her home in Ballarat, a regional city about 100km from Melbourne.

The world No.572 used a protected ranking to enter Qualifying, mindful that time was running out for her to use her illness-protected ranking to enter Grand Slam tournaments.

She arrived at Roehampton having played the worst match of her life in Madrid earlier in June after the symptoms, which made it hard to see the ball, briefly flared again.

As a result, she had low expectations of success at Roehampton and had only arranged accommodation until last Wednesday.

But a pleasing return to form saw her defeat Gabriela Lee and then Katie Volynets, the No.1 seed in Qualifying, before her compatriot Priscilla Hon withdrew from their final round clash with food poisoning.

“I booked until Thursday because I honestly thought the first round was about it for me this week,” Hives said.

“So we got something before my match [against Hon] for two nights, [then] we had to find somewhere else for next week.”

Her compatriot Maddison Inglis qualified at Wimbledon for the first time on Thursday on the same court her partner Jason Kubler also enjoyed success on earlier in the day.

The Western Australian, who was proudly nursing flowers that main draw competitors are gifted from The All England Lawn Tennis Club, was booked to fly home to Perth on Saturday.

She cancelled that and scoured websites searching for new accommodation for herself and Kubler, who is on the comeback trail from injury and recently returned to the top 100.

“I had only booked for a week,” she said.

Inglis, who plays Hungarian Dalma Galfi on Court 10 on Monday, will have now played at least one main draw match in every Grand Slam and is looking forward to the Wimbledon experience.

“To (both) qualify on the same court … it is not going to happen very often. It was a very special day. We are both so happy,” she said.

“I came here for juniors eight years ago now, so I remember it a little bit, and it is gorgeous. I can’t wait to play on the grass courts. Really, it is so beautiful to be here.

“It is so clean. Everything is so organised. It has an amazing vibe.”

Jaimee Fourlis, who will play in her first Grand Slam event since the 2018 Australian Open, has been in excellent form on the ITF Circuit since her return to touring after a shoulder reconstruction.

She carried that momentum through Roehampton and will make her Wimbledon debut against Belgian Kirsten Flipkens on Tuesday, which prompted a swift change in plans.

The Melburnian was looking forward to a holiday with a family member but that can wait.

“So we were actually meant to go on holiday,” she said.

“I was probably going to take her to Paris but, yeah, that's happened to be a week later or two weeks later, whenever it is.

“So there was a little bit of a travel rearrangement, but that's for the better.”
