·Slam·GrassAnna Blinkova defeated Yuliia Starodubtseva 6(3)-7(7), 6-4, 6-1 — Wimbledon 2026 R128.
Yuliia Starodubtseva and Anna Blinkova: Anna Blinkova leads 2–1 across 3 recorded meetings.
Ranked No. 55 to her opponent's No. 107 on paper, the favorite was Starodubtseva — but it was the lower-ranked player who took the chances that mattered. Five weeks after Starodubtseva won their French Open meeting in straights, Anna Blinkova converted 6 of 10 break points (60%) to Yuliia Starodubtseva's 3 of 14 (21%), and the gap only widened as the match wore on. After dropping the opener in a tiebreak, Blinkova won 77% of first-serve points in the decider and broke in games one and three to close it out at Wimbledon, where the two had never met on grass.
