Wimbledon 2023: Aryna Sabalenka mounts comeback to survive Varvara Gracheva scare and reach third round
Aryna Sabalenka survived a scare to reach the third round at Wimbledon, coming from a set down to beat French youngster Varvara Gracheva. The second seed found herself in serious trouble after surrendering the opening set, but she grit her teeth to launch a fightback and eventually triumph 2-6 7-5 6-2. Ad It was far from a complete performance from the Australian Open champion, who was unable to compete at the All England Club last year due to the tournament’s ban of Russian and Belarusian players.
