Wimbledon favorite struggles briefly
Defending champion Yelena Rybakina has reached the second round of the 136th All England Championships after initial problems.
Before the eyes of Roger Federer, who celebrated his first of eight titles in Wimbledon 20 years ago, the Kazakh won against Shelby Rogers (USA) 4: 6, 6: 1, 6: 2 on Tuesday. Rybakina dropped out of the French Open in Paris due to a viral illness before her third round match.
“I feel a lot better, it wasn’t easy to regain my fitness,” said number three seed Rybakina. During their match, just before 3:00 p.m. local time, ten matches scheduled for the outdoor courts were canceled due to persistent rain. Among them was the first round game by Tatjana Maria (Bad Saulgau).
