The 14th seed, Elina Svitolina, is set to face qualifier Aliaksandra Sasnovich in the second round of Wimbledon. While Svitolina cruised past Anna Bondar in straight sets, Sasnovich had to battle her way through a tight three-set encounter against Varvara Gracheva, winning two consecutive tiebreaks to advance.

The Ukrainian, a two-time semifinalist at the All England Club, enters the match as a strong favorite. She’s already picked up a title in Rouen this season and has consistently gone deep at major events. In contrast, Sasnovich has had a modest year, with her best results coming at lower-tier tournaments.
