Wimbledon: World number two Ons Jabeur breezes into round two

World number two Ons Jabeur breezed into the second round at Wimbledon with a straight sets victory against Swedish qualifier Mirjam Bjorklund.

Jabeur had withdrawn from the Eastbourne International prior to Wimbledon with a knee injury.

But she showed no sign of struggling with the issue as she took just 53 minutes to secure the win.

Jabeur, who rose to a career-high second in the world rankings on Monday, reached the quarter-finals at Wimbledon last year, seeing off Venus Williams and Garbine Muguruza before falling to world number one Iga Swiatek.

She comes into this tournament in strong form, having won the German Open earlier this month.
