Czechs find success in Wimbledon doubles
The Czechs had success in all their doubles matches at Wimbledon on Monday, with Adam Pavlásek winning the second round of the men's doubles with Uruguay's Ariel Behar 7(7)-6(3), 6-1 against France's Fabrice Martin and Germany's Andreas Mies, and four Czechs winning in three matches in the women's doubles. Marie Bouzková won her second round match with Spain's Sara Sorribes Tormo against Taiwanese sister duo Chan Hao-ching and Latisha Chan 6-4, 6-4, Barbora Strýcová won with Taiwan's Hsieh Su-wei 7-5, 7(7)-6(4) in the round of 16 against Japan's Miyu Kato and Indonesia's Aldila Sutjiadi, and the Czech duo of Markéta Vondroušová and Miriam Kolodziejová beat Romania's Elena-Gabriela Ruse and Ukraine's Marta Kostyuk in the second round 1-6, 6-1, 6-4.
However, Czech tennis players were not so lucky in the singles. Jiří Lehečka lost 6-4, 6-2 to Daniil Medvedev (Russian but competing under a neutral flag) in the round of 16 before retiring from the match due to an injury, and Petra Kvitová lost 6-0, 6-3 in her round of 16 match against the Tunisian player Ons Jabeur. The only Czech left in the singles is Markéta Vondroušová, who will be competing in the quarter-final against US player Jessica Pegula on Tuesday afternoon. Four doubles matches featuring Czech tennis players are also taking place on Tuesday afternoon.
