Bianca Andreescu continued her successful grass-court season with a convincing 6-1, 6-3 win over Emina Bektas in first-round action at Wimbledon on Tuesday.

Andreescu won 91 per cent of first-serve points and converted five of 10 break-point chances in a match that took just 54 minutes to complete.

It's the first time the 22-year-old from Mississauga, Ont., has advanced to the second round at the All England Club. She is also coming off her first grass-court final, making it to the championship match last week at Bad Homburg, Germany, before falling 6-7 (5), 6-4, 6-4 to France's Caroline Garcia.

Andreescu will next face 17th seed Elena Rybakina of Kazakhstan. Rafael Nadal got his Wimbledon campaign off to a winning start, though he needed four sets to do it.
