At this Stage
Fifty-four minutes. That is all Marta Kostyuk needed for her Wimbledon opener, beating Nadia Podoroska 6-1 6-2 in the pair's first career meeting and giving the protected-ranking entrant almost nothing — 20 winners to two tells the story on its own. For a No. 12 seed this is what a first round should look like: brisk, clinical, no invitation for doubt. Kostyuk moved on to a last-64 meeting with Anna Blinkova, who had come from a set down to beat Yuliia Starodubtseva elsewhere in the bracket; that one has since cost Kostyuk a first set, but not the match. Here, she was barely on site long enough to break sweat.
