Liudmila Samsonova regained her old form to dispatch Polina Kudermetova 6-3, 6-3 and Diana Shnaider 6-4, 4-6, 6-2 at the 2026 Wimbledon Open. Samsonova’s big serves are creating a lot of quick points and easy holds in this tourney. She’s winning 80.6 percent of her first serves and saving 71 percent of breakpoints in two matches in SW19.

Marie Bouzková made quick work of Tyra Caterina Grant 7-5, 6-3 to reach the third round of the 2026 Wimbledon Open. Bouzková, the Nottingham Open Champion, improved to 8-1 on grass this year. Bouzková has already dropped 6 service games in this tourney, but already created 23 breakpoint chances, securing 11 conversion or a 47.8 percent breakpoint conversion rate.
