Sobolenko’s path to the third round was difficult. Her second-round match against France’s Gracheva was rocky as Varvara confidently won the first set 6-2, taking advantage of Sobolenko’s erratic serve.
However, the Belarusian star improved his game, overturned the match and won with the score 2:6, 7:5, 6:2. His improved serve played a key role in that comeback and will be essential in his quest to go as far as possible at Wimbledon.
There are high hopes for Sobolenko, many predict that she will reach the final and maybe even win the title. However, Blinkova could prove to be a formidable opponent, capable of exploiting any setbacks from Sobolenko in the game.
Blinkova advanced to the third round after a confident win over Irina Begu. The Russian showed exceptional skill on the grass court, beating the Romanian in straight sets.
The victory only adds to his impressive record this year of 24-17 in all tournaments and 5-2 on grass.
Blinkova’s shots are well suited to fast surfaces like grass, allowing her to withstand Sobolenko’s plays. However, defeating the second racket in the world is not an easy task.
In the previous two meetings, Arina Sobolenko defeated Anna Blinkova, but each time in three sets. Their first match was at the 2017 Manchester Open, where Sobolenko won 7-6(6), 5-7, 6-3.
They faced each other again at the 2020 Strasbourg Open where Sabalenka won 1–6, 6–4, 6–2.
