At this Stage
No drama, but precious little daylight either. Ekaterina Alexandrova, the 18th seed and a fourth-round finisher at Wimbledon in 2025, followed a 6-4 6-2 win over Panna Udvardy with a 7-5 7-5 defeat of Lanlana Tararudee — both sets locked at 5-all before Alexandrova's serve and heavier hitting told down the stretch. Tararudee, the world No. 99, had spent nearly three hours beating Lilli Tagger in round one and gave the seed an honest examination without ever quite forcing a crisis. Alexandrova advances to a seed-against-seed last-32 meeting with No. 16 Iva Jovic — progress by increments, which at this stage is progress all the same.
