Elisabetta Cocciiretto withdrew stunners on Tuesday and set out in the world 3 Jessica Pegula from Wimbledon 2025. Italian only needed 58 minutes to pack the commanding 6-2, 6-3 victories over Pegula, who recently won bad open direct sets over five times the male champion.
Since 2023 it meant the first victory in Cocci-Maretto over the TOP-10 rival and served as a sweet revenge for her loss of Pegul in Wimbledon 2023, where she went down 6-4, 6-0.
“I played with players like her before. Like Aryna (Sabalenko), Iga .. All players you have to do the best you can on the pitch and take the little chances they’ll give you. I tried to be more aggressive. Go for it.
The 24 -year -old Cocciartto will face the world No. 98 Katie Volynets in the second round.
Kasatkina, dominant by Minaur
The Australian duo of Daria Kasatkin and Alex de Minaur has created a strong performance to advance to the second round of the grass court.
Kasatkina defeated Emilian Arango in direct sets, 7-5, 6-3. Then Irina-Camelia Bega will face, who got around Kaja Juvan 7-6, 1-6, 6-3 in her opening round.
De Minaur also turned on the light work of his Spanish rival Robert Carballes Baen and won 6-1, 6-2, 7-6. The Australian, who withdrew from last year’s tournament in the quarterfinals, will be a deeper run this time.
In the second round he meets the winner of the first round between Arthur Cazaux and Adam Walton.
