At this Stage

Elena Rybakina's 300th tour-level win — as it was reported — asked more of her than a No. 2 seed would like in a first round. Loïs Boisson, ranked 154th and playing her first grass-court main-draw match, took the second set 6-1 and made the favourite solve a genuine problem before Rybakina closed it out 6-4 1-6 6-3 on No.1 Court. The winners column, 34 to nine, argues the outcome was never truly in doubt; the middle set argues back. Rybakina advanced to meet Caty McNally in the last 64 — a match since handled far more cleanly, 6-1 6-2 — and the milestone, wobble and all, was banked.
