The two-time winner from Eastbourne Plíšková ruled on the court only in the first set, which she won in less than half an hour. But then her opponent, who ranks 75th in the rankings, started a great performance. During the rest of the match, Giorgio covered the favored Czech Republic with winning strokes, took her service five times and after a hundred minutes the duel ended at the third match.

Plíšková will not defend her title from 2019 in Eastbourne, when the tournament was last played, and on Monday she will drop out of the Top 10 rankings for the first time since 2016. It is now in the elite ten for the 230th week in a row, which is the second longest current series after Romanian Simona Halepová (367 weeks).

Another Czech, Vondroušová, failed in the Wimbledon general in Eastbourne, whose start scheduled for Monday was canceled due to rain. Last week in Berlin, the later winner of the entire tournament lost to Ljudmila Samsonova from Russia, this time not enough for Jaburova, who triumphed at the concurrent WTA Tour event in Birmingham. Vondroušová had a good chance of winning the second set thanks to a 4: 1 lead in a tie break, but then she lost six balls in a row and thus the match.

Siniaková in the quarterfinals

Kateřina Siniaková defeated the tournament trio Jessica Pegulaová from the USA 6: 3, 5: 7, 6: 4 on the grass in Bad Homburg and advanced to the quarterfinals in the Wimbledon general. He will face the German German Laura Siegemund on Thursday.

Twenty-five-year-old Siniaková defeated the favored Pegula, who defeated the Czech number one Karolína Plíšková for the fourth time this season in Berlin in two and a quarter hours. She has already lost 2: 4 in the deciding set, but she has won the next four games. When the opponent was served, the fresh doubles champion Roland Garros turned the second match ball with a winning forehand.

On Wednesday, Petra Kvitová, the most committed in the quarterfinals, will compete for the quarterfinals at the tournament near Frankfurt am Main, and her opponent will be the American Ann Li.

Thiem gave up the match due to injury

The reigning US Open winner Dominic Thiem did not finish his opening match at the tournament in Mallorca a week before Wimbledon. The fifth player in the world tennis rankings led the Frenchman Adrian Mannarin in the first set 5: 2, but with an injured right wrist he had to give up the match.

Twenty-seven-year-old Thiem suffered another blow in a not very successful season. He has won only one match since the Madrid tournament in May and is currently his fourth defeat in a row.

Also due to poor form and efforts to prepare for the defense of the title at the US Open, Thiem gave up the start of the Olympic tournament in Tokyo last week. But he planned to attend Wimbledon.
