Cameron Norrie beat Jack Draper and Harriet Dart beat Katie Boulter, while Emil Ruusuvuori shocked Stefanos Tsitsipas and Andy and Jamie Murray exited the men’s doubles
Kasatkina, the Russian who’s playing without a flag by her name as the championships, is full of confidence having won the Eastbourne title last Saturday. She’s such a talent, boasting a high tennis IQ, and is handing out a lesson here to Miyazaki, the 28-year-old who switched from representing Japan to Britain in 2022.
It’s now 5-0 – and Kasatkina is serving for the set. But Miyazaki saves her best for the set point, putting away the winner. Hopefully that’ll give the Brit a boost. But a second set point soon arrives, and Kasatkina comfortably takes it. The set has flown by 6-0 in just 19 minutes.
