LONDON – Canada’s Bianca Andreescu moved on to the second round of Wimbledon women’s qualifying with a 6-4, 6-2 win over Polona Hercog on Tuesday.
Andreescu won 84 per cent of first-serve points, 75 per cent of second-serve points and only faced two break points, saving both.
The 26-year-old from Mississauga, Ont., broke Hercog three times on 12 chances en route to setting up a second-round match with Switzerland’s Jil Teichmann.
Andreescu, a former world No. 4, lost in the second round of qualifying at the All England Club last year to fellow Canadian Carson Branstine. Her best result at the grass-court Grand Slam is advancing to the third round, which she has done twice.
Toronto’s Katherine Sebov also moved on with a 4-6, 6-3, 6-2 win over Argentina’s Jazmin Ortenzi.
Sebov, who will next face Germany’s Noma Noha Akugue, is looking for her second Grand Slam main draw appearance after a first-round loss at the 2023 Australian Open.
Canadians Carol Zhao, Cadence Brace and Kayla Cross were defeated in their first-round qualifying matches.
