Belinda Bencic (WTA 14) still knows how to win a match at Wimbledon. For the first time since … 2019, the Saint-Galloise once again took a turn at Church Road. She won 7-5 6-2 ahead of Briton Katie Swan (147).
With this 1st victory for three months, the Olympic Champion wants to believe that she is once again on the right track. Her second round will oppose her to the winner of the meeting between the American Danielle Collins (52) and the Austrian Julia Grabher (58).
Injured in the thigh and shoulder, Belinda Bencic had only made a short appearance at Roland-Garros since April before returning to the surface on which she had won the first title of her career, at Eastbourne. in 2015. After a laborious start – she was the first to concede her commitment -, Belinda Bencic was able to slowly find her marks to pick up an indisputable success if not really convincing.
The black series continues for Teichmann
Jil Teichmann (WTA 121) really can’t do it anymore. At Wimbledon, the left-hander conceded one more defeat in a very disastrous year 2023 for her. Jil Teichmann lost 6-3 6-2 in the first round to Magda Linette (23).
Faced with the Pole, semi-finalist this year at the Australian Open but without great references on grass, Jil Teichmann held the shock until 3-3 before letting go.
An interruption due to rain and a refereeing error on the 1st point played at 4-3 30-30 on her serve have undoubtedly destabilized a player who has been out of confidence for months. Beaten for the 4th time from the outset at Wimbledon in four participations, Jil Teichmann will return with some relief very quickly to clay, the surface which should allow her to find a much more decent ranking.
