Former world No.1 Victoria Azarenka, wearing the Nike Fall Pure Dress and playing only her second tournament as a mom, reached the third round of Wimbledon with a 6-3 6-3 victory over 15th seed Elena Vesnina on Court No.3. The 2011 and 2012 semifinalist Azarenka, currently ranked 683rd due to the maternity absence, never dropped serve during the second-round match, hitting 8 aces to her opponent’s zero and recording a +13 winners-to-unforced-errors differential compared to Vesnina’s -2. The 2016 Wimbledon semifinalist Vesnina needed a medical timeout for a hip injury in the second set, but was able to finish the match.
