A little tour and then go. The Czech Petra Kvitova, world No. 10, fell sharply as soon as she entered the tournament on the Center Court, against the American Sloane Stephens (73rd world) in straight sets (6-3, 6-4). Double winner of the tournament, in 2011 and 2014, Kvitova was less realistic than the American, often more inspired on important points.
For Stephens, ex world n ° 3, who fell very far behind in the standings behind her title at the US Open in 2017, this is a significant victory, which confirms the good intentions already seen at Roland Garros where she had reached the round of 16.
