Iga Swiatek stretches her winning streak to 36
In the withdrawal of the retiring Ash Barty, who won the 2021 championship, the 2018 junior champion, who departed the grasscourt Grand Slam in the fourth round last year, had the honour of commencing the second day of play on Centre Court.
Notwithstanding a stiff breeze whipping across the main show court, Poland’s Swiatek raced through the first set without losing a point, scoring a 6-0 set for the 17th time this year.
But her serving issues began at the start of the second set, as the 25-year-old Fett, placed 252nd in the world, took a 3-1 lead. Swiatek, on the other hand, rapidly regained her focus and went on to win the following five games.
Swiatek won on her first matchpoint on to a booming first serve, and she will face either British wildcard Sonay Kartal or Dutch fortunate moron Lesley Pattinama Kerkhove in the third round.
Coco Gauff had a rocky start, converting only four of 25 break opportunities, but that wasn’t enough to derail her as she advanced to the Wimbledon second round with a 2-6 6-3 7-5 triumph against Romanian Elena-Gabriela Ruse on Tuesday.
The American teenager, just 18-year-old America is the youngest player in the singles tournament, and then after becoming runner-up at the French Open earlier in the month, many believe she could go all the way at the All England Club.
Nevertheless, her dad and trainer Corey was seen grumbling on a sun-soaked Court Two as she dropped the first seven points over the Romanian player , namely relinquishing her serve to love.
When the 11th seed Gauff went on to gain and miss four break points in Ruse’s first service game, it lead the way for her coach and families ‘s difficult day.
