At this Stage

An ankle problem had muddied Belinda Bencic's build-up, and a semi-finalist here in 2025 needed a clean start more than a dramatic one. She got it: 6-2 6-1 in 64 minutes over Mika Stojsavljevic, the 17-year-old Londoner and 2024 US Open girls' champion making her Grand Slam main-draw debut on a wild card. Bencic led throughout, conceded just ten unforced errors and controlled the match from the baseline; the teenager struck nine winners of her own and will have learned plenty. The 11th seed advanced to a second-round meeting with Wang Xinyu — another straight-sets afternoon, once a tight 7-5 first set was banked.
