The trap match I entered Wimbledon Iga Swiatekworld number one, against the winner of a Grand Slam Sofia Kenin It ended without a hitch for the Pole, who won by 6-3 and 6-4 in first round.
Swiatek, who refused to play in previous tournaments on grass after a tiring tour on clay, dropped seven games against the American, who is far from the best in the world and no longer possesses the aura of a Grand Slam winner if where she defeated Garbiñe Muguruza in Australia four years ago.
The Polish woman put the first serve was great, won 84% of points on that blow, and stopped Kenin at just nine wins.
Despite giving up his serve in the early stages of the match, Swiatek only received one break chance again, in the penultimate game of the match, and sealed a victory that boosted his confidence to finally tame the grass in London .
The world number one is an absolute dominator on clay, where he has won four of the last five Roland Garros, but he has yet to transfer this superiority to grass. His best result at Wimbledon was last year’s quarterfinals.
With Aryna Sabalenka and Marketa Vondrousova out of the game, in addition to Elena Rybakina’s physical doubts and Ons Jabeur’s drop, the Pole’s options have increased. They will face the winner of the rivalry between the local guests in the second round. Francesca Jones and the Croatian Petra Martic.
