Top-seeded Aryna Sabalenka has advanced to the third round of the 2025 Wimbledon women’s singles after defeating Marie Bouzkova from the Czech Republic on Wednesday. The Belarusian player spent one hour and 35 minutes on the court, winning with a score of 7-6 (7-4), 6-4. Sabalenka expressed frustration with a scream after missing a breakpoint in the next game but quickly regained her focus, securing a tiebreak with a backhand winner on her subsequent chance. “That was a challenging moment in the match,” Sabalenka remarked. “I was just trying to get the ball back on that side and hoping I could break her service because my returns up to that point hadn’t been good enough. I’m really pleased that everything came together.” “In that moment, I felt somewhat improved, which I believe helped me win the tiebreak and secure the victory in straight sets.” Sabalenka mentioned that she has been learning to handle her performance in the initial matches. “I understand that if I concentrate on myself and stay determined to fight for each point, I have a strong chance of advancing,” she shared with the media. Whenever I started to feel anxious, I would focus on things unrelated to tennis and the court. These days, I’m focusing on approaching things one step at a time. Following this is an exciting match on Friday against the victor of the upcoming clash between Grand Slam champions Marketa Vondrousova and Emma Raducanu.
