Danielle Collins is into round two, after completing a straightforward win over the German Tatjana Maria, who hit just eight winners – to Collins’ 40 – on her way to a 0-6, 2-6 defeat. Collins, a 25-year-old from St Petersburg (the Florida one) had never won a Grand Slam match at the start of 2019, but reached the semi-finals of the Australian Open and is now on her way in this one.
Henri Laaksonen has completed a straight-sets win over Pedro Martinez, though two sets were considerably straighter than the third: it’s ended 6-1, 6-0, 7-6 on Court 5.
