Proceedings for day 2 at the Wimbledon Championships on Centre Court will commence with Alexandra Eala taking on the number 17 seed and the defending Champion Barbora Krejcikova. <\/p>
This is a tough opening round fixture for both players and should be a closely contested match. The winner of this match proceeds to the second round<\/a> to go up against either Carolinne Dolehide or Arantxa Rus.<\/p> Alexandra Eala is having a breakout season this year with multiple deep runs in tournaments. She started the year strong, making the semi-final runs at the Canberra International and the Miami Open, and has recently come off an appearance in the final of the Eastbourne Open. <\/p> Leading up to Wimbledon, the Filipino has entered four grass-court tournaments, which would have provided her plenty of experience adapting to the surface. Despite having a decent year, the youngster has struggled to hold serve, managing to do so just under 60% of the time. But she has converted 52.5% of her break points and won 46.5% of her return games. <\/p>Alexandra Eala vs Barbora Krejcikova Preview<\/h2>
