Result

Thirteenth seed Jasmine Paolini survived a shaky start to beat qualifier Robin Montgomery 0–6 6–4 7–5 on Court 12 in 2 hours 21 minutes. Montgomery raced through the opening set for the loss of no games and actually won more points on the day (113 to 110), but she managed only five of nineteen break points while Paolini converted four of seven. Paolini steadied behind a cleaner serve, hitting just one double fault to Montgomery's four.

At this Stage

A 2024 Wimbledon finalist losing the first set 6-0 to a qualifier is the sort of scoreline that gets a court surrounded. Jasmine Paolini, the No. 13 seed, spent 2 hours 21 minutes making sure it stayed a curiosity rather than a result, beating Robin Montgomery 0-6 6-4 7-5 despite winning fewer points on the day. Montgomery carved out nineteen break-point chances and converted only five; that arithmetic, more than anything, is where her tournament ended. Paolini advanced to face Viktorija Golubic in the last 64 — since navigated in straight sets — with a warning received and, on the evidence, absorbed.
