Defending champion Jelena Rybakina is in round three at Wimbledon. The 24-year-old Kazakh won 6-2, 7-6 (7-2) against French Alize Cornet in London.
In the end, she also benefited from an injury to her opponent. Cornet slipped at the score of 6:2, 5:5 for Rybakina and was only able to continue playing in pain and with a thick bandage on his right knee. Rybakinia now meets British Katie Boulter.
