Last year’s finalist Karolina Pliskova advanced to the second round of the Wimbledon Championships at the All England Lawn Tennis & Croquet Club in London.
The sixth seeded Czechwoman defeated countrywoman Tereza Martincova 7-6 (7-2), 7-5 in a first round match held over from Tuesday. The match was suspended on Day 2 with the score tied at 5-5 in the second set.
Pliskova will next meet British wild card Katie Boulter, who defeated Frenchwoman Clara Burel 7-5, 6-3. Boulter defeated the Czech in three sets in the first round of Eastbourne last week. The career head-to-head between the two players is tied at 1-1.
Since returning to the tour in Indian Wells, the former world No 1 has posted a mediocre 8-10 record on the tour, including a 2-2 record on grass prior to this week.
