Aryna Sabalenka was just two points from dropping the opening set of her second-round Wimbledon match three times on Wednesday before asserting herself for a 7-6 (4), 6-4 victory over Marie Bouzkova to avoid the sort of surprise that has sent a group of seeded players home.

No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka overcame a tight opening set Wednesday before settling in to defeat Marie Bouzkova 7-6 (4), 6-4 at Wimbledon. Meanwhile, No. 4 Jasmine Paolini became the fourth women's top-five seed to fall in the opening two rounds.

Sixth-seeded Madison Keys recorded a 6-4, 6-2 win over Olga Danilovic on Wednesday to advance to the third round at Wimbledon.
