All England Club: Fourth seed Jessica Pegula put behind her last year's first-round exit with a composed straight-sets victory over Czech qualifier Darja Vidmanova to reach the Ladies' Singles second round of Wimbledon 2026, while teenage compatriot Iva Jovic celebrated her first-ever main-draw win at the All England Club on Monday.

Pegula, one of the seventh-seeded American women in this year's tournament, overcame a brief dip in the first set to defeat world No. 92 Vidmanova 7-5, 6-3 in one hour and 13 minutes.

Opening on Court 2, Pegula quickly took the first four games in just 10 minutes. Vidmanova, making her Grand Slam main-draw debut, fought back by winning three consecutive games. The fourth seed regained control at the right moment to take the first set 7-5.
