Day three: Jovic, Eala & Anisimova contest second round matches
Opening up Wednesday's action on the Andy Murray Arena was a blockbuster match up between two of the sport's rising stars as America's Iva Jovic came through in straight sets to beat reigning Lexus Birmingham Open champion Alexandra Eala.
Sixth seed Jovic produced a dominant display against Eala as she won 6-2, 6-2 in an hour and 17 minutes on the Andy Murray Arena.
The world No.19 was excellent from the baseline throughout, converting five breaks of serve while losing only four points behind her first serve (21/26) in an impressive all-round performance.
Eala continued to fight until the end, saving a match point at 5-1, but the American remained composed and sealed the win at the second opportunity to book her place in the quarter-finals.
Jovic will take on last year's runner-up Amanda Anisimova who took down Laura Siegemund 6-1, 6-3 in her first match of the grass court season.
It was a clinical serving performance from the two-time Grand Slam runner-up, who dropped just nine points on serve throughout the whole match.
Ansimova also played the pressure points well, fending off the only break point she faced across the match, while breaking the German four times to move into the quarter-finals at The Queen's Club once again.
Karolina Pliskova has moved through to the quarter-finals after Victoria Mboko retired due to injury.
The former world No.1 was serving at 4-3 after taking the first set 6-2 when the Canadian fell on the grass, bringing the match to a premature end.
Mboko is scheduled to play her quarter-finals doubles match with Serena Williams on Thursday afternoon.
Meanwhile, the rain brought the final match of the day between Marie Bouzkova and lucky loser Donna Vekic to an early end. The pair will return to court to finish their match tomorrow where Bouzkova will serve to take the first set to a tie-break.
British No.1 Emma Raducanu and Katie Boulter made winning starts to their HSBC Championships campaigns in front of the home crowd on the Andy Murray Arena.
In the opening match of the day, Raducanu sealed a comfortable 6-0, 6-3 victory over qualifier Anna Blinkova in an hour and four minutes.
The British star lost just six points in a dominant opening set and, despite her opponent's improved level in the second set, broke three times to complete the victory.
It's Raducanu's first tour-level victory since Indian Wells in March, as the former quarter-finalist marches on to face Sorana Cirstea.
World No.18 Cirstea came through a tough battle with Maddison Inglis 6-4, 5-7, 6-2 to book a meeting with Raducanu. Their second round clash will be a repeat of the Transylvania Open final earlier this year.
Boulter returned to court on Tuesday to complete her first-round clash against eighth seed and former US Open finalist Leylah Fernandez, sealing a comeback 3-6, 7-6(4), 7-5 victory.
The match was suspended yesterday with Fernandez leading 6-3, 3-3 but it was Boulter who made the faster start when the match resumed. The Brit raised her level and reeled off the final four points in the second set tie-break to level the scoreboard.
Boulter carried that intensity into the decider - breaking immediately to surge into a 4-2 lead. While Fernandez fought back to level at 4-4, Boulter refused to let the match slip and produced a stunning forehand passing shot to seal the decisive break in the 11th game before consolidating to clinch the win over the world No.23.
23-time Grand Slam champion Serena Williams and Canadian teenager Victoria Mboko rounded off the action on the Andy Murray Arena as they teamed up to beat Nicole Melichar-Martinez and Erin Routliffe in their first round doubles match.
It marked an emphatic return to professional tennis for Williams - who was competing in her first competitive match in almost four years - as the British, Canadian pair recorded a 7-6(2), 6-2 win over the third seeds.
Sixth seed Iva Jovic is safely into the second round as well, defeating Croatian qualifier Antonia Ruzic 6-3, 6-4.
In the next round, she'll face newly-crowned Lexus Birmingham Open champion Alexandra Eala, who extended her win streak to six matches after beating China’s Zhang Shuai 6-3, 6-2.
However, British No.4 Francesca Jones lost out in her first round match to Germany's Laura Siegemund 6-2, 6-3.
17-year-old Mika Stojsavljevic lost on her Queen's Club debut to 2024 Wimbledon semi-finalist Donna Vekic 6-2, 6-3.
Raducanu and Boulter later returned to the court for their first round doubles match, where they narrowly lost out to fourth seeds Zhang Shuai and Storm Hunter 6-4, 3-6, 10-5.
After a rainy day in West London, the action finally got underway on the opening day at the HSBC Championships.
Headlining Monday's winners is British wild card Harriet Dart who battled through a testing opener against Liudmila Samsonova, winning 5-7, 6-4, 6-3 in two hours and 48 minutes.
Dart was broken in the final game of the opening set, but showed great resilience to fight back against the world No.35. After levelling the match to a set apiece, the Briton converted three of her eight break point opportunities in the decider to reach the second round where she'll take on fourth seed Belinda Bencic.
Elsewhere, world No.38 Jaqueline Cristian defeated last year’s semi-finalist Qinwen Zheng 6-4, 7-6(4) to earn just her second ever main draw win on the grass.
It was a strong start for Cristian, who was making her debut at The Queen's Club this afternoon. The Romanian won 84% of points behind her first serve (37/44) and found the decisive mini-break in the second set tie-break before punching her ticket to the second round as the 2024 Paris Olympic champion fired a forehand long.
Elsewhere, Karolina Pliskova fought through a testing battle against reigning Lexus Nottingham Open champion McCartney Kessler - winning 6-7(1), 6-3, 6-4.
Kessler fought back from 4-1 down to take the opening set tie-break, but former world No.1 Pliskova responded well - breaking the American five times across the second and third sets to seal victory on Court 1.
Meanwhile, Katie Boulter will return to court tomorrow after her match against former US Open finalist Leylah Fernandez was suspended due to daylight. The Brit lost the first set 6-3, but has raised her level in the second, with the scoreboard currently tied at 3-3.
Qualifying: Brits miss out on main draw
Qualifying is underway at the 206 HSBC Championships with a host of British stars vying for their spot in the main draw.
After beating former World No.10 Beatriz Haddad Maia in the first round, Heather Watson missed out on a main draw slot at the hands of Shuai Zhang who won 6-3, 6-4.
Joining Zhang in the main draw is Anna Blinkova, Polina Kudermetova, Antonia Ruzic and Maddison Inglis.
Reigning champion Tatjana Maria will also be back in the main draw after beating Kamilla Rakhimova 6-4, 6-3.
Jodie Burrage lost out in the opening round of qualifying 6-1, 6-3 to ninth seed Anna Blinkova while Lily Miyazaki missed out to Maria who won 6-2, 1-6, 6-2.
Hannah Klugman came back from a set down but couldn't find the win as she lost out 6-2, 4-6, 6-4 to Shuai Zhang.
