Ukrainian wildcard Elina Svitolina beat Belgian 28th seed Elise Mertens to reach the third round at Wimbledon on day four.

Svitolina dominated the opener before appearing to struggle with something in her eye in the second, but she regained form to take victory.

On court 12, French Open runner-up Karolina Muchova suffered a shock first-round exit to Jule Niemeier. The Czech 16th seed sustained a leg injury after falling over in the deciding set and went down 6-4 5-7 6-1 to German Niemeier, who reached the quarter-finals at Wimbledon last year but is ranked 87 places below Muchova.

Svitolina’s win against Niemeier might be seen as an upset, but the world number 76 has reached the semi-finals of two Grand Slams and only fell down the rankings after stepping away from the sport to have a baby last year.
