Rybakina Seeks Return to Top Form
Elena Rybakina defeated Lois Boisson to move into the second round at Wimbledon, winning 6-4, 1-6, 6-3. Despite dropping the second set, she was in complete control in the other two sets to secure the victory.
The Kazakh has failed to register multiple main-draw wins in each of her last three tournaments after a strong run of results earlier this season. She will now look to end that run by putting together another deep campaign this week.
Rybakina has produced nine quarterfinal-or-better finishes on tour this season, including title-winning runs at the Australian Open and Stuttgart. Those results helped her climb to a career-high ranking of No. 2 a few months ago.
She holds a perfect 5-0 record in second-round matches at Wimbledon, with her best result being the title-winning run in 2022.

Verdict
Caty McNally's disappointing record at this stage of Grand Slams and her struggles against top-ranked opponents make this a difficult assignment. Elena Rybakina enters as the clear favorite, although McNally has the ability to make the match competitive and should offer some resistance.
