Sabalenka Begins Wimbledon Bid in Style
Aryna Sabalenka defeated qualifier Teodora Kostovic in straight sets to reach the second round at Wimbledon, 6-3, 6-3. She lost her serve once and converted five of the 11 break points she created during the match.
The Belarusian was in incredible form earlier this season, winning 23 of her first 24 matches and lifting three titles. However, since the start of the clay swing, she has looked a bit shaky and has struggled to produce her best tennis, failing to defend most of her ranking points on clay.
She will now look to build on this opening-round win and produce another deep run at Wimbledon to regain her winning momentum.
Sabalenka holds a 3-1 record in second-round matches at Wimbledon. Her only defeat at this stage came on her debut in 2017, when she lost to Carina Witthoft in three sets.

Kessler Looks to Extend Winning Run
McCartney Kessler moved into the second round at Wimbledon after defeating Oleksandra Oliynykova in a dominant 6-0, 6-0 victory. It was also her maiden main-draw win at Wimbledon after back-to-back first-round exits in recent years.
The result is an encouraging one for the American. She failed to win a match in her first two grass-court events, including her title-defense campaign in Nottingham, but reached the quarterfinals in Eastbourne last week and is now building on that momentum at Wimbledon.
The 26-year-old has reached only four quarterfinals across all levels this season and has been unable to match the results she produced during the first half of last year, which has pushed her outside the top 50 in the rankings. She is now looking to regain that level.
Kessler heads into this clash with a 0-4 record in second-round matches at Grand Slams.

Verdict
McCartney Kessler's first-round victory should provide a much-needed confidence boost. However, her inconsistency this season, along with a disappointing record in Grand Slam events, makes it difficult to back her against Aryna Sabalenka. The world No. 1 has a clear edge and is well placed to progress further.
