Iga Swiatek Survives Wimbledon Scare; Anisimova, Pliskova Cruise Into Round Two

By IANS News June 30, 2026 • 22:16 PM View: 279

Defending champion Iga Swiatek survived a huge scare before winning her opening match against the world No.79 Taylor Townsend in three sets at the 2026 Wimbledon at the All-England Club in London on Tuesday, joining last year's finalist Amanda Anisimova and Karolina Pliskova in the second round.

The Polish star won her last 20 games here last year to lift her sixth Grand Slam title, and the world No.3 continued in the same vein as she raced to the first set on her return to Centre Court in only 31 minutes.
