At this Stage
Sofia Kenin came to Wimbledon ranked outside the top 100, a 2020 Australian Open champion in a difficult stretch, and played a first round that recalled why the title happened: eight unforced errors all match. She beat Petra Marčinko 7-6(4) 6-4 in the pair's first meeting, absorbing the Croatian's 31 winners while twelve double faults did their quiet damage on the other side of the net. The win set up a last-64 meeting with No. 6 seed Amanda Anisimova — since contested all the way to a deciding-set tiebreak before Kenin fell — and offered a reminder that the cleanest ballstriking in a match still counts for plenty.
