At this Stage
Laura Siegemund was a Wimbledon quarter-finalist a year ago; Elise Mertens made sure the sequel lasted one match. The No. 25 seed won 6-2 6-4 on Court 14, and the gap showed most starkly in a single column: eight aces to none. Mertens converted five of six break points, kept her error count below her opponent's and stretched her head-to-head record over Siegemund to 3-0. The reward was a last-64 meeting with the qualifier Maria Timofeeva — since won, though only after dropping the opening set — and a quietly ideal start: no sets lost, serve humming, seeding intact.
