the belarusian Aryna Sabalenkasecond seed of Wimbledonswept the Hungarian debut Panna Udvardy (6-3 and 6-1) with a whopping 28 winners.
Sabalenkawho was unable to play last year due to bans against the Russians and Belarusians, made up for lost time with a solid win over Udvardy, whom he overcame with nearly thirty ‘winners’ and four service breaks.
The Belarusian hit eight aces and saved the only two break points she faced, and although she hit 19 unforced errors, 17 of them came in the first set. The second favorite sharpened his aim in the second round and was close to perfection, surrendering only one game and eleven points.
After the success in her debut, Sabalenka, who has already reached the semifinals in this tournament in 2021, is waiting for a rival in the next round. His opponent will appear in the Italian clash Camila Giorgi and the French Varvara Gracheva, which was canceled this Tuesday due to rain. That will give Sabalenka, who played on Center Court with the roof closed, an extra day off.
