Marie Bouzková vs Tyra Caterina Grant — 7-5 6-3

Result

Experience beat firepower on Court 16. No. 21 seed Marie Bouzková absorbed everything 18-year-old Italian qualifier Tyra Caterina Grant threw at her and won 7-5 6-3, the classic counterpuncher's scoreline: Grant hit twice as many winners (26 to 13) but paid for it with 32 unforced errors and 11 double faults against Bouzková's immaculate 12-error, 4-double-fault line. Bouzková landed 75% of first serves and converted four of six break points. The Czech — a Wimbledon quarterfinalist in 2022 — meets Liudmila Samsonova next.

At this Stage

Experience against firepower, the oldest matchup in the book, and it went the way it usually does. Tyra Caterina Grant, the 18-year-old Italian qualifier who had announced herself by beating Katie Boulter in round one, hit twice as many winners as Marie Bouzková — 26 to 13 — and lost 7-5 6-3 anyway, undone by 32 unforced errors and 11 double faults against the 21st seed's immaculate 12-error ledger. Bouzková, a three-set winner over Talia Gibson in her opener and a Wimbledon quarterfinalist in 2022, absorbed, waited and collected. She advances to a last-32 meeting with Liudmila Samsonova, who removed 15th seed Diana Shnaider the same afternoon.
