EASTBOURNE – Jelena Ostapenko launched her bid for a second Eastbourne title with a gritty straight sets win over Greet Minnen in the first round of the Wimbledon warm-up event on Monday, while top seed Elena Rybakina withdrew from the tournament.
There was a worrying moment for Ostapenko, the 2017 French Open champion, when she fell on the grass midway through the second set but the world number 13 recovered to close out the win. Asked about her fall, Ostapenko, 27, added: "Grass is a great surface, but sometimes it can be really slippery and really tricky. So I took the medical time-out just to make sure I'm fine."
Her decision to pull out meant 2020 Australian Open champion Sofia Kenin advanced into the second round as a "lucky loser".A wildcard entry, Dart delighted the home crowd on Monday by outlasting former Wimbledon quarter-finalist Marie Bouzkova 7-5, 6-7 , 6-4 in a marathon encounter of nearly three-and-a-half hours.
