Aryna Sabalenka jokingly expressed relief over the end of major upsets at Wimbledon, as she continues as the last standing top-seeded female player. This comes after turning the tide on her precarious second-round match against Marie Bouzkova, securing a 7-6 (4), 6-4 victory.

With her match delayed by shifting weather, Sabalenka managed to overcome a first set deficit, leveraging her strengths in crucial moments. "It was a tough moment," she admitted, alluding to her struggle at breaking Bouzkova's serve. Sabalenka has now set her sights on a match against Emma Raducanu.

Elsewhere, the tournament has witnessed unprecedented exits, with 23 singled-out players gone by Day 2. Novak Djokovic headlines the forthcoming Day 4 matches, underscoring what's been an unpredictable event so far.
