Ostapenko thus avenged our Daria Semenistaya, who was defeated by Ruzich in the previous round. And this revenge was severe — just over an hour, and with a racket out... Indeed, if at the start of Wimbledon — the main grass tournament of the year and the third in the Grand Slam series, Ostapenko struggled for more than two hours with British player Harriet Dart (6-3, 3-6, 6-4), today she allowed her opponent only two games, even handing out a 'bagel' in the second set. For reaching the third round, Ostapenko is awarded 130 ranking points and €215,000 from the prize fund. It is worth reminding that Ostapenko is playing at Wimbledon for the 11th time, and so far her best achievement dates back to 2018 — reaching the semifinals. In the 1/16 finals, Alena Ostapenko will face the winner of the match between Aryna Sabalenka (the world number one) and McCartney Kessler (USA). Ostapenko is also entered here in the doubles category. Her duo with American Sofia Kenin is seeded 8th. Wimbledon, whose prize fund has increased by 20 percent compared to last year (the prize fund for this year's tournament is £64 million), will conclude on July 12. This year, it is being held for the 139th time. The reigning champions are Italian Jannik Sinner and Poland's Iga Swiatek.
