Kalinina Takes Down Qualifier Bouzas Maneiro
Anhelina Kalinina knocked out Spain’s Jessica Bouzas Maneiro in the first round on Thursday.
The 26th seed needed an hour and 28 minutes to beat the qualifier 6-4, 6-3. The first set was extremely competitive with both players breaking each other twice each in the first six games. However, Kalinina broke her opponent one more time late in the set to win the last three games in a row and take a one-set-to-love lead.
The Ukrainian looked much more assured in the second set as she did not face a single break point in the set while she converted 2 of 4 to oust the world no. 167.
Kalinina, who made her debut at Wimbledon last year, is into the second round for the second time but will be looking to reach the third round for the first time.
Kalinina, who reached her second WTA final in Rome this year, improved to 18-15 across levels this season. She is 3-3 on grass and will be looking to equal her previous best Grand Slam result on Friday. She has just one third round appearance in a major and she achieved that earlier this year in Melbourne.

Andreescu Holds Off Bondar
World no. 50 Bianca Andreescu began her Wimbledon campaign with a three-set win over Anna Bondar in the first round on Thursday.
The 23-year-old Canadian got off to a great start as she broke the Hungarian twice in the first set to take a one-set-love lead. The tables turned in the second set as Bondar broke twice to tie the match at one set apiece. With the momentum with Bondar going into the third set, Andreescu once again raised her level. She broke her opponent twice in the final set to win the match 6-3, 3-6, 6-2 in an hour and 57 minutes.
The 2019 U.S. Open champion is into the second round in Wimbledon for the second time. She had also reached the round of 64 last year, but couldn’t go beyond that stage.
She has not been in best of forms this year, having reached the semifinals just once in Hua Hin. She also reached the fourth round in Miami but has not had much success elsewhere. On grass, she has a 3-3 record this season.
Can she make it to the third round?
Kalinina v Andreescu Prediction and Tip
She maybe ranked lower than Kalinina, but Andreescu will be the favourite in this contest. The Canadian’s prior grand Slam experience and her superior record on grass, both work to her advantage. Expect her to edge out the Ukrainian and reach the third round for the first time at Wimbledon.
Tips:
- Low Risk Tip: Andreescu to win: 4/6
- Moderate Risk Tip: Under 22.5 games in the match: 5/6
