Thirty-two-year-old Kvitová defeated her opponent, who was seven years younger, in almost two and a half hours. The two-time Wimbledon winner has succeeded against Boulter in the first match and can still emulate her eleven-year-old act of making it to the finals in Eastbourne. The British, who had previously eliminated Tereza Martincová and Karolína Plíšková, did not mature into another Czech tennis player.
–
The 31st player in the world, Kvitová, entered the match well and broke the opponent’s service in the beginning. At 4: 2, the match was interrupted due to the nausea of one of the spectators. Even after a short break, the Czech tennis player continued her game and had two sets at her disposal. But she didn’t use them, and Boulter turned the orchard to her advantage in five games in a row to the delight of the home crowd.
–
However, Kvitová was excited about the loss of the set and dominated in the second set. After 33 minutes, she gave the 127th player of the world a “canary” and forced a decisive set. In it, both tennis players kept service until the score was 6: 5 for Kvitová. At that moment, the Czech Republic received two matchballs, and used the other.
–
Kvitová reached the quarterfinals for the first time since the March tournament in Miami, before that she was also among the top eight in Dubai. In Eastbourne, he fights for the first semifinal of the season. She had never played with Dart before.

On the Roehampton site, however, the 278th player in the world has not lost a set yet.
–
Against Eubanks, who is more than a hundred places higher in the rankings, Rosol turned away in the first set at 4: 5 and then succeeded in a tie-break. In the ninth game of the second set, the former Czech Davis Cup representative did not use three matchwords and lost service for the first time in the match, but immediately ended the match for the fifth time. Rosol’s last hurdle will be 191st Argentine player Renzo Olivo.

All six Czech tennis players were eliminated in Tuesday’s 1st round of qualification.
