British number four Katie Boulter roared back from almost suffering a first-set bagel to dump out last year's Wimbledon finalist Karolina Pliskova in the second round of the Rothesay International Eastbourne.
British number four Katie Boulter roared back from almost suffering a first-set bagel to dump out last year’s Wimbledon finalist Karolina Pliskova in the second round of the Rothesay International Eastbourne.
The Eastbourne International, considered a warm-up tournament for Wimbledon, is set to get underway this weekend.
Britain's Katie Boulter earned her first win over a top 10 player with an impressive three set win over 2021 Wimbledon runner-up Karolina Pliskova in the second round of the Eastbourne International. The world number 127 has struggled with a number of injuries in recent seasons, but she looked in great form as she dispatched the Czech, a two-time champion at the tournament, who looked out of sorts when she hit four straight double faults in the third set. Ad/> Pliskova looked to have total control of the match when she took the first set 6-1, but Boulter fought back in the second, first breaking for 5-3, before the Czech got back on terms.
Karolina Pliskova believes it will be «super difficult» for Serena Williams to challenge for another Grand Slam title at Wimbledon after a year away from tennis. Williams, 40, made the shock announcement last week that she would be returning at the third major of the season. Ad/> Williams hasn’t played since suffering a leg injury in the first round of Wimbledon in 2021, but is competing in the doubles at this week’s Eastbourne International with Ons Jabeur before trying to win an eighth Wimbledon singles title.
Serena Williams’ comeback appearance will not take place until at least Tuesday but old sparring partner Karolina Pliskova has shot down suggestions the 23-time grand slam winner could be a contender at Wimbledon.
Serena Williams and Ons Jabeur will face Marie Bouzkova and Sara Sorribes Tormo in their opening encounter at the Eastbourne International women’s doubles.
Serena Williams will team up with world No. 4 Ons Jabeur at the Rothesay International Eastbourne as she continues her Wimbledon preparation. The 28-time major champion will make her competitive return after almost a year out with an injury she sustained in the first round at Wimbledon last year.
