Czech women shone at Wimbledon on Wednesday, all advanced

On Thursday, the All England Club will continue to play the second round match of the third Grand Slam of this year’s tennis season. But before that, let’s take a look at how all the Czech representatives fared on the grass in the capital of Great Britain.

And we have to start with the sumptuous performance of Kateřina Siniaková. She didn’t even give a sniff of the surface to China’s Wang Ja-fan as she literally swept her away with 6:1 and 6:0 in 56 minutes of play. The 64th player of the tennis ranking managed to finish the first round match with great bravado before the tournament.

However, other Czechs also advanced to the second round. Kristýna Pliskova showed a great turnaround in her match with Australian Astra Sharma (Lucky loser like Wang Ja-fan – ed.).

Pliskova first had to reverse an unfavourable 0:1 set score, and then in the second and third sets the score was 2:4 games. However, she recovered each time and celebrated her advancement to the second round, just like her sister Karolina, after scores of 3: 6, 6: 4 and 6: 4.

In the clash between the Czechs and the Chinese, it was 2: 0 on games a few minutes later, when Karolína Muchová calmly advanced as well. After two sets of identical 6::3, Muchová advanced to the second round where she will face the unpredictable Italian Camila Giorgi.

Markéta Vondroušová is also gaining form ahead of the Olympic tournament. The 22-year-old player eliminated another seeded player from the tournament by defeating Anett Kontaveit of Estonia in three sets.

25. the world-ranked player and 24th seed lost to Vondroušová 6:2, 4:6 and 2:6 and after three advances to the third round at the All England Club, she is out of the tournament after the first match this year.

And now let’s move on to the second round matches. On the grass in London, Karolina Pliskova is doing well so far. After a poor start to the tournament, the world number 13 dominated on court and gave her opponent and great friend Donna Vekic no chance. In an hour and 8 minutes it was over after sets 6: 2 and 6: 2.

And in the third round, Pliskova will be the star of the Czech derby. The 26-year-old is having a breakthrough year this year and just making it to the third round is the best result for her at any Big Four tournament.

After a great battle, especially in the second set, Martincova defeated the Argentine Nadia Podoroska 6: 3 and 7: 6 (5) and can look forward to continue on the London grass.

Karolína Muchová, Kristýna Plíšková, Kateřina Siniaková, Markéta Vondorušová and the recent Grand Slam champion Barbora Krejčíková will play the second round on Thursday. And let’s hope Thursday at the All England is as successful as Wednesday.
