So the Gorgodze journey comes to an end and Kristie Ahn picks up the baton. And next she plays the Wiley Monica Nicelescu of Romania

I saw Nicelescu play Ilkley in 2019, all slink and dink, sliced forehand and lots
Of temper!

Should be interesting

so ahn loses her throne quite quickly and nicelescu takes the crown into wimbledon

and there she plays the 2nd seed sabalenka in a tough old opener

so we have Zapata Miralles of Spain and Nicelescu of Romania to follow into the main event

 Re Niculescu with her partner  Miss Chan in the Wimbledon  doubles  final of 2017 against the might of Makarova and Vesnina  they had an afternoon to forget as they failed to win a game. At Nottingham 2015 she beat JoKo in the quarter finals when J o was about to climb the rankings. In the final she lost to Ana Konjuh who has also qualified for Wimbledon this year.
