At this Stage
No.3 Court expected a home win; it got a debut instead. Tyra Caterina Grant, an 18-year-old Italian qualifier ranked 172nd — 112 places below her opponent — beat Katie Boulter 6-4 6-2 in her first Grand Slam main-draw match, the biggest win of her career. The serving told the story: seven aces and 74 percent of second-serve points won for Grant, while Boulter never earned a break point and threw in eight double faults. A British hope was gone before the second round; the qualifier moved on to No. 21 seed Marie Bouzková, who has since ended the run in straight sets. The name, though, is now worth remembering.
