Daria Kasatkina beat Xu Mingge in straight sets to advance at Wimbledon. She struggled early but remained composed to close the match out. The result comes after reports questioned her recent grass-court form.
Major broadcasters are carrying the coverage as the opening day wraps up. Weather slowed play earlier but organisers have confirmed Wednesday’s matches will go ahead. Kasatkina now faces Xu again in the next game after this victory.
