After the party of Botic van de Zandschulp was demolished on Monday evening due to the darkness and Tallon Griekspoor was eliminated, Lamens was the first Dutch woman to work.
Tallon Griekspoor responds to his frustrated expressions during Wimbledon: ‘I am not here at the fairground tournament in Nieuw-Vennep’
She played concentrated and let her 17-year-old opponent make the mistakes in the rallies. The Dutch did not give any chance at its own service and broke Jovic three times.
In the second set, Lamens had a hard time in the third game, in which she eliminated three breakpoints. With two breaks in a row, she then assured herself of her first victory over London grass.
Which Grandslams already played Suzan Lamens?
Lamens made her appearance for the first time this year at a grand slam tournament. The global number 69 reached the second round on the Australian Open, after which she lost her first game at Roland Garros.
Lamens (25) meets Ekaterina Alexandrova from Russia in the second round, who defeated the Australian Priscilla Hon with 6-2, 7-5. Alexandrova is the number 17 in the world. She recently reached the fourth round on Roland Garros and did the same on Wimbledon two years ago.

Arantxa Russian is killed against Caroline Dolhide
Arantxa Rus was quickly ready in singles. In the first set, Rus quickly looked at a 5-1 deficit. She broke back again, but then returned her storage again. The number 94 in the world got better in her game in the second set and got a break chance on 2-2. The American still took the game and then broke the storage of Russian on Love, after which the Dutch returned her service again.
Russian’s best performance on Wimbledon thus continues to reach the third round in 2012.
Response Arantxa Rus
It was a difficult game against a very difficult opponent on grass, “Russian looked back afterwards.” She serves hard and doesn’t let you get into your rhythm. I got small chances and I didn’t take them and then such a game goes fast. “
“In the first part of the second set, the games were closer together. I had a break chance and came a few times at 30-similar to her service, but she was simply better today,” said Rus.

Petra Kvitova loses in the first round of her last Wimbledon
Petra Kvitova has lost her last game at Wimbledon. In the first round, the double winner from the Czech Republic lost no chance of the American Emma Navarro in two sets: 3-6 3-6. Kvitova said earlier that she will end her career this year.
Kvitova left the Center Court in London with loud cheers. She was allowed with a wildcard. The 35-year-old Kvitova managed to win Wimbledon in 2011 and in 2014.
Kvitova was allowed to address the audience despite her loss. “I couldn’t even dream of winning Wimbledon, but I won this tournament twice,” Kvitova told Navarro after her match. “It was nice to be able to play here one more time. I will come back here as a member of the club.”
Jessica Pegula surprisingly disabled
Jessica Pegula is surprisingly eliminated in the first round. The third-placed American went down 2-6, 3-6 against the Italian Elisabetta Cocciaretto, the global number 116.
The 31-year-old Pegula, who has reached at least the quarterfinals on all grand slam tournaments, was not involved in the first set against Cocciaretto. She did not create any breakpoint and lost her own service twice. In the second set she held up to 3-3, but then returned her storage twice.
