After a day of shocks and upsets at Wimbledon fourth seed Jessica Pegula managed to avoid the same fate, as she overcame a spirited challenge from Iva Jovic in three sets.
Second seed and 2022 champion Elena Rybakina was picked apart by 25th seed Elise Mertens in straight sets on Saturday, followed by defending champion Iga Swiatek also falling in straights to 21-year-old rising star Alexandra Eala, on a day which completely upended the bottom half of the draw.
