Sofia Kenin def. Petra Marcinko 7(7)-6(4), 6-4 — Wimbledon 2026 R128

Match recap

Sofia Kenin defeated Petra Marcinko 7(7)-6(4), 6-4 in the R128 of the Wimbledon 2026.

Ranked No. 104 against the WTA No. 51, the underdog turned the match on her conversion rate: Sofia Kenin cashed 3 of 5 break points (60%) while Petra Marcinko managed just 3 of 11 (27%), and that gap decided a 7-6(4), 6-4 first-round result at Wimbledon. Marcinko's 12 double faults — against Kenin's two — kept the pressure on her own service games, and Kenin saved 8 of 11 break points to absorb the surges. After a tight first set traded breaks four times late, Kenin held firmer through the tiebreak and broke for the match in game 10 of the second.
