Svitolina Records First Berlin Victory

Elina Svitolina moved into the second round after Anna Kalinskaya retired while trailing 1-6, 1-4. It was Svitolina's first career win in Berlin after her only previous appearance at the tournament ended in the opening round in 2021. 

The Ukrainian has reached only five grass-court quarterfinals during her career, with three of them coming at Wimbledon. The last time she won multiple matches at a grass-court event outside Wimbledon was in Birmingham in 2018, and she will be hoping to end that run this week. 

The 31-year-old arrives in excellent form. She has played 10 tournaments this season and reached at least the quarterfinals in seven of them, including a title-winning run. She will now look to carry that consistency onto grass and continue her strong season.

German Targets First Deep Run of the Season

Eva Lys advanced to the second round after defeating Magdalena Frech in straight sets, 7-6, 6-3. She dropped serve four times but broke her opponent on six occasions to seal the victory. 

It was only the second main-draw win on grass of her career. The German had previously played eight tournaments on the surface and, apart from a second-round run at Wimbledon last year, all of her other appearances ended either in qualifying or the opening round. 

Lys has been dealing with physical issues since the early part of the season, which have affected her progress. She has played nine tournaments this year and none of them have resulted in multiple main-draw wins. The last time she achieved that at tour level was during her quarterfinal run in Beijing last year.
