English grass court winners not doing well at Wimbledon. .Haddad and Van Uytvanck both lost which just leaves Eastbourne winner Petra Kvitova yet to play in the draw. .
And Kvitova lost the opening set 6-2 as well just Now
Well Kvitova won in 3 sets and with Ostapenko winning, both Eastbourne finalists made the 2nd round.
Poor start from Katie. Missed break points and broken herself for 1-3*. Only the second time Burel has played on grass (Wimbledon qualifying last year was the first).
But she's got the break back now *2-3

Yeah that was a great effort to grab that first set despite not playing very well. Second set she looked quite a bit better, and Burel had flashes of great stuff but never really looked like turning it round.
Really pleased for her.
(And no Jeremy courtside, although I noticed he was there for Jodie and Sonay...)

Jeremy was definitely there for Katie Swan.........qed.......point proven
Congrats to Harmony Tan, have to say Im a little bit miew about Serena in general and Im not entirely sure why she came back. But it took guts for Tan to win and she will remember it for the rest of her life, Im sure.

Shame for Serena, I would like her to get that one last Slam but it's not going to happen. She cant come back with such little preparation, the game has moved on.
