Series winner Iga Swiatek from Poland confidently won her opening match in Wimbledon.
The world number one and French Open winner needed 75 minutes for the 6: 0, 6: 3 against qualifier Jana Fett (Croatia). For Swiatek, the top favorite at the All England Club, it was the 36th consecutive win – the longest streak of this millennium.
Swiatek had foregone a preparatory tournament in order to recover after strenuous months with tournament victories in Doha, Indian Wells, Miami, Stuttgart, Rome and Paris.
She won the juniors’ tournament at the classic lawn in London’s south-west in 2018, and Swiatek’s best result so far is the round of 16 in 2021.
