New Zealand tennis number one Marina Erakovic has qualified for Wimbledon.

Erakovic was leading Silvia Soler-Espinosa 2-love in the first set when the Spaniard retired with an injury.

It's the second straight Grand Slam Erakovic has qualified for and she says her hard work this year has paid off.

She says she's played a lot of matches and has found some good form.

The draw for Wimbledon is made tomorrow.
