Latvian Jelena Ostapenko, the No 12 seed, won against Frenchwoman Oceane Dodin 6-4, 6-4 to move into the second round of Wimbledon at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in London on Tuesday.

Ostapenko, ranked No 17, will play the winner of the match between Belgian qualifier Yanina Wickmayer and Chinese Lin Zhu next.
