The point was compellingly proven in a physical mismatch of Aleksandra Krunic and the Canadian Rebecca Marino – respectively slight and waif-like, and thunderous and physically dominant. Oh, very well, I won’t – except to admit that we had a soggy start to our Sunday, not really soaking but drizzly enough to render the courts damp and slippery. And finally – a Herald challenge. Liam Broady had slipped to a two-set defeat to powerful Aussie Millman, but British hopes are still high in the men’s competition. At 5-1 up in the breaker, she saw Tsurenko doggedly etch away that lead - until, exactly two hours into a marvellous contest, the Ukrainian seized the tie-break, the second set, and the place in the main draw. But still surrounded by the swirl of flags in this Tennis League of Nations, we are rooting for the British players.

No.5 seed Garbiñe Muguruza notched her first grass-court win of 2022 to open her week at the Rothesay International Eastbourne.

To do so, she hit a staggering 52 winners in victory to go along with 11 aces, and saved 11 of the 13 break points she faced. She's now beaten Riske twice this year after losing their first three matches in a head-to-head that dates back to 2017. I feel like I fought hard against the wind, and I haven't played many matches on grass either," Muguruza said in victory. From 6-1, 3-1 down, Frech got the second set back on serve, was ahead for much of it on serve from then on, and battled back from a big deficit in the tiebreak. Since winning the AKRON WTA Finals in Guadalajara, Mexico to end 2021, the two-time major-winner has struggled. Muguruza won the five of the first six points, but ultimately needed four match points to secure a 1 hour, 42-minute victory.

It was her fourth top-100 win of the grass-court season for the British No.2. The new British No.5 cracked the WTA top 200 in today’s rankings update and celebrated with the second top-100 win of her career.

She is yet to hit with her doubles partner Ons Jabeur though they are expected to play their first match on Tuesday.

The 23-time grand slam champion is set to make her return to competitive tennis in doubles action after a year out.

And the fact that she returned and I get to be part of her journey, it’s really unbelievable. Not in front, I’m good!” Jabeur half-joked. I hope I can learn even like two per cent from it.

It is nice to have her back and I hope she can be back for much more time because I think she does very good for tennis. Karolina Pliskova – last year’s Wimbledon finalist said: “It is a long time and she is not the youngest any more so I suppose the body also takes some time to get back into shape. “I am excited to return to Eastbourne in England and to be back on the grass – a surface that has been so good to me throughout my career.
