At this Stage
Viktorija Golubic's opener followed a familiar three-set shape: control, lapse, correction. She beat the qualifier Iryna Shymanovich 6-2 2-6 6-1, conceding a middle set but conceding little else — twenty unforced errors all afternoon against her opponent's thirty-nine. The win carried quiet significance too, putting Golubic into the Wimbledon second round for the first time since 2023, where No. 13 seed Jasmine Paolini was waiting. That meeting has since gone the seed's way in straight sets; this one was simply a solid professional's job, neatly done.
