The Czech teenager transformed the gained self-confidence into dominance in the second set. Errani’s game did not work at all on her own serve and she scored the only point on Nosková’s serve. She could rely on a lot of winners and finally won convincingly after 82 minutes 7:6 and 6:1. In the second round, Linda Nosková will face Bianka Andreescu from Canada.
Andrejevová, who debuted at Wimbledon last year and reached the round of 16 from qualification, did not follow up on the successful Roland Garros, where she sensationally advanced to the semifinals.
In the second round, the Czech teenager will challenge Paula Badosa from Spain and will be able to avenge the elimination of her compatriot Karolína Muchová.
Erraniová – Nosková 6:7, 1:6

Plíšková – Šnajderová 6:4, 4:6, 5:7
Karolína Plíšková was eliminated from this year’s Australian Open and French Open also due to a difficult draw in the form of Jelena Rybakinová and Elina Svitolina in the first round. She did not match a simple opponent even for the opening round of Wimbledon, and she did not find the recipe even for Diana Šnajderová, who arrived after her triumph in the 500 in Bad Homburg.
At the same time, the former world number one played the match excellently several times and was the better player on the court until the end of the second set. However, she did not confirm the break in the second act, then she did not take advantage of another chance and in the final game, after avoiding three set points in a row, she made a double fault on Russia’s fourth chance.
She also gained a break lead in the deciding set, but lost it again and again paid the price for not using break points. In the ninth game, she threw away three opportunities in a row and then with the help of great serves she eliminated the opening two match points of her opponent. Two games later, however, she faced another threat and committed an unforced forehand error.

Pliskova had a respectable streak on her account until recently, from Wimbledon 2016 to the Australian Open 2023 inclusive, she went through the first round of the Grand Slams every time. Since then, she has been wrecked in it on five out of six occasions. At Wimbledon, she did not do well at all at first. She finished her first six participations in the main competition in the second round at the latest. But then she made it to the second week three times in a row, and in the 2021 edition she only fell in the final with Ashleigh Barty. Since then, she has not been further than the second round.
Recently, happy periods alternate with crises. In February, she snapped a long streak of tournaments without more than one win to claim her first title in four years, and a few weeks ago on grass in Nottingham, she reached the final after a torturous few months.

Šnajderová is in the second round of the Grand Slams for the third time. At this stage, she lost in three sets at both the Australian Open and the French Open last year. She will play Grand Slam champion Sloane Stephens to improve her personal best at the majors.
Badosaová – Muchová 6:3, 6:2
Karolína Muchová played her first tournament since last year’s US Open in Eastbourne a week ago, and after surgery on her right wrist, and not only Czech fans, it must have been a shame when she didn’t start in the quarterfinals. But the finalist of last year’s French Open most likely wanted to save the operated wrist before Wimbledon.
However, in the first round, the Czech tennis player lost to the Spaniard Paula Badosa, and for the third year in a row, she ends at the grass Grand Slam after the first match. The currently ranked 34th player lost serve three times in the match and did not collect her opponent’s serve even once.
