Wimbledon: Aryna Sabalenka Battles Past Marie Bouzkova In Second Round

Aryna Sabalenka booked her spot in the third round at Wimbledon 2025 with a hard-fought 7-6(4), 6-4 win over Marie Bouzkova on Centre Court on Wednesday. The world No. 1 had to dig deep in a tight opening set but pulled through with a strong tie-break before sealing the match in one hour and 35 minutes. With several top seeds already out, including Coco Gauff, Jessica Pegula, and Qinwen Zheng, all eyes now shifts on Sabalenka, who is hoping for “no more upsets.” She now remains a strong title contender, having won 14 of her 15 tie-breaks this season. The Belarusian will now face Emma Raducanu in the third round on Friday.
