The seventy-first player in the Veselý rankings bet nine aces to the favored opponent, but on the other hand he faced ten breakballs and did not turn one away in each set. Against the world thirteen and tournament four, he developed a single breakball that he did not use in the first set. Carreño lost only four balls in the second set in a five-game service.

Twenty-seven-year-old Veselý is so far the only Czech tennis player in singles for Wimbledon, which starts on Monday. Others can supplement it from the qualification.

Lucie Hradecká and the Chinese woman Chang Shui lost in the first round of doubles in Eastbourne with the Japanese pair Aojama, Shibahara 2: 6, 5: 7.

Kvitova bragged

Although Kvitová clearly won the first set, after losing 4: 7 in the tie-break of the second set, she had to fight for promotion in the third set, just like in the first round. “But today it was a much better performance, I moved better,” said the 31-year-old Czech in a television interview.

In the quarterfinals, the twelfth player in the world will currently play against the fifth seeded Podoroská. Kvitová has fought 24-year-old Argentina, who ranks 39th in the rankings, only once so far. She lost 7: 5, 1: 6 and 6: 7 in Melbourne this year.
