Dunne was later handed a wildcard to compete in the Wimbledon qualifying for the third year running, but lost in the first round to the two-time quarterfinalist Tamira Paszek, in straight sets.^[4] In 2018, she was handed a main-draw wildcard into Wimbledon where she played centre court against Jelena Ostapenko, pushing the seed to a tie break in the second set before losing in two sets. In 2019, Dunne won a $60k tournament in Spain and picked up an injury shortly after that.
