Ons Jabeur wasted no time in getting past the first round of Wimbledon on Court 14. The Tunisian, world n°10 at 29, dominated Japan's Moyuka Uchijima, ranked 68th in the world, in less than an hour and two sets (6-3, 6-1).
A finalist at the last two editions of the London Grand Slam, Jabeur hit 21 winners against 15 unforced errors (9 against Uchijima's 23) and didn't have to defend a single break point. She therefore advances to the second round, where she will meet young American qualifier Robin Montgomery, aged 19 and ranked 161st in the world.
