London, July 11 (Ians) Marketa Vondrousova came back from a breakdown in the third set to upset No.4 Jessica Pegula and reach the semifinals of the Wimbledon, here on Tuesday.
Vondrousova won the last five games to defeat No.4 seed Jessica Pegula 6-4, 2-6, 6-4 in a rousing match on Court No.1. Vondrousova entered the tournament with only four career main-draw wins on grass. Now, in less than a fortnight, she’s scored a handful.
The 24-year-old from the Czech Republic will play the second major semifinal of her career on Thursday against No.1 Iga Swiatek or unseeded Elina Svitolina who were still playing on Centre Court.
This was the fourth consecutive match in which Vondrousova defeated a seeded player. Previously, she was a winner over No.12 Veronika Kudermetova, No.20 Donna Vekic and No.32 Marie Bouzkova. She’s only the third woman in the Open Era to reach the Wimbledon semifinals after defeating four seeded opponents,...

Eastbourne (England), June 27 (Ians) Ons Jabeur of Tunisia picked up her first grass-court win of this season after defeating Italy’s Jasmine Paolini 6-3, 6-2 in the opening round of the Eastbourne International, here on Tuesday.
Jabeur picked up her second win in two meetings with 42nd-ranked Paolini, and she moved into the Eastbourne second round for the third time in her career.
The Tunisian started her 2023 grass season last week in Berlin, where she suffered an opening-round loss to Jule Niemeier as the defending champion.
Last year’s Wimbledon finalist Jabeur is seeking her third career grass-court singles title. Her first Wta singles title came on grass, at 2021 Birmingham, and she added a second grass-court title to her resume last year in Berlin.
Last week’s Birmingham champion Jelena Ostapenko is a possible quarterfinal opponent for Jabeur. Latvia’s Ostapenko kept her winning streak going with a 6-4, 6-...

Eastbourne (England), June 27 (Ians) Defending champion Petra Kvitova and No.10 seed Barbora Krejcikova withdrawn from the Eastbourne International citing fatigue, the tournament announced on Tuesday.
Two-time Wimbledon champion Kvitova won her 31st Wta Tour title last week in Berlin. She had been scheduled to play Jelena Ostapenko in the first round in a rematch of the 2022 final.
Ostapenko, who won her sixth career title last week in Birmingham, will instead play lucky loser Czech player Barbora Strycova.
“I’m very sad that I have to withdraw from the tournament in Eastbourne and not have the chance to defend my title. It’s one of my favourite stops on tour and I wish everyone a great week,” Kvitova said in a statement.
Krejcikova returned to the Top 10 of the Wta singles rankings for the first time in over a year on Monday, after her finalist showing last week in Birmingham. Her...

Rome, May 9 (Ians) Barbora Strycova scored her first singles win in nearly three years after defeating Maryna Zanevzka 6-1 3-6, 6-3 in the first round of the Italian Open, here on Tuesday.
The 37-year-old Czech will face No.9 seed Maria Sakkari in the second round.
A former World No.1 in doubles and No.16 in singles, Strycova returned to competition at the Madrid Open after a two-year maternity break. There, she played her first singles match since the 2021 Australian Open, losing in straight sets to Elisabetta Cocciaretto.
“To be honest, when I played the match against Cocciaretto, it was a great match. After three years of not playing, I was surprised how I was hitting the ball, how I was moving,” Strycova told Wta Insider.
“I was like ‘Oh my god, I can still play with these girls.’ So it gave me confidence that I did something good during the three months of preparing myself,...
