Is Ana Ivanovic preoccupied by her wedding plans? Or is this simply the natural continuation of her slump? Whatever the case, the former world number one lost on the first day of Wimbledon 2016 to world No.223 Ekaterina Alexandrova, who had entered the match with already 108 games played in qualifying.
Russia’s Alexandrova defeated the 23rd-seeded Ivanovic in straight sets. The first set was over in just 24 minutes, while in the second set Ivanovic recovered from 2-4 to 5-4, but Alexandrova then won three straight games of her own and recorded a 6-2 7-5 victory, saving three break points in the final game.
