2015 Roland Garros champion Stan Wawrinka (VCORE Tour G, SHT-PRO) soared into round 2 with a straight-set victory over Portugal’s Joao Sousa. Stan’s rocket-powered serve commanded the match, the World No. 4 shooting off 25 aces, and refusing Sousa any chances to break. The final score came to 6-2, 7-5, 7-6(3). Young tennis superstar Nick Kyrgios (EZONE Ai 98, POLYTOUR PRO 120) is also into the second round after a swift win over Diego Schwartzman. The Aussie was up 2 sets in 42 minutes, sealing the first with a sizzling 134mph ace. The World No. 29’s Argentine opponent upped the aggression in the third, but Nick held him off in a tight tiebreaker, taking the match at 6-0, 6-2, 7-6(6).
Ana Ivanovic's (EZONE Ai 98) Wimbledon campaign is off to a running start, eliminating Chinese qualifier Xu Yi-Fan with no issues. Boasting ferocious plays from the baseline and an explosive forehand, the Serb summarily defeated her opponent at 6-1, 6-1 with 29 winners and 6 break points. Recently winning her first WTA title at the Aegon International Eastbourne, Belinda Bencic (EZONE Ai 100, POLYTOUR HS 125) is into round two after a win over Bulgaria’s Tsvetana Pironkova. Despite dropping the opening set, the World No. 22 Swiss came back strong in the last two, winning at 3-6, 6-1, 6-3, recording 35 winners and 6 break points.
