Defending champion Garbine Muguruza and top seed Simona Halep made strong starts at this year’s Wimbledon, while 2004 titlist Maria Sharapova and two-time winner Petra Kvitova bowed out on Day 2.
Third seed Garbine Muguruza had no trouble dispatching British Naomy Broady in the first round. Even though the 6-2 7-5 score suggests the Spaniard didn’t have an easy ride, she actually faced only one break point (an unconverted one). The encounter lasted almost an hour and a half because Muguruza wasn’t so readily using her own chances.
