At this Stage

Diana Shnaider walked onto Court 14 carrying a three-match losing streak, which is not the accessory a No. 15 seed wants in a first round. She left without it. Shnaider beat Eva Lys 7-5 6-1, digging out a tight opening set from 4-5 down and then breaking the German three times in a second set that emptied fast — six break points earned, six converted, a perfect ledger. The slump-snapping win sent her into the last 64 against Liudmila Samsonova, a match since lost in three sets. But form had been the question hanging over Shnaider's grass season, and for one afternoon the answer was emphatic.
