At this Stage

Two hours and forty-five minutes of first-round tennis, and the difference fit on one line of the stat sheet: Kamilla Rakhimova converted five of six break points, Anhelina Kalinina four of nine. Rakhimova came from a set down to win 4-6 6-4 7-5, breaking late in a decider that offered neither player anything cheap — and trimming a head-to-head Kalinina still leads. For the Uzbek it meant a last-64 date with Maria Sakkari, who had just beaten a seed across the way; that meeting, since played, needed a deciding-set tiebreak before Sakkari edged it. Rakhimova's run ended there, but her appetite for long arguments plainly did not.
