Jordanian tennis player Abdullah Shelbayh won his first match at the Wimbledon Junior Championships Wednesday after defeating Sweden's Mance Dalbog earlier in the day. 

Shelbayh managed to overthrow the Swedish player in two sets, with a score of 4/6 and 6/3, to advance to the second round of the tournament.

Shelbayh is the first Jordanian to compete in a Grand Slam tournament, whether at the junior or senior level.
