Four Australian Tennis Players Win Wimbledon First-Round Matches

Australia's Wimbledon campaign has been revitalized after a challenging start, with national No.1s Alex de Minaur and Daria Kasatkina spearheading a four-win surge to reach the second round. Kasatkina, despite being nervous and vomiting just before her match, overcame world No.76 Emiliana Arango, while de Minaur showed strong form in his first grand slam match since the French Open, defeating Roberto Carballes Baena. Joining them in the last 64 are Aleksandar Vukic and Rinky Hijikata, contributing to Australia's improved performance after seven players lost on the opening day. Vukic expressed confidence playing on grass, noting its unpredictability could lead to upsets. However, other Australian players like Priscilla Hon and James McCabe were defeated early in the tournament. Overall, the resurgence has restored optimism for Australia's presence at Wimbledon this year.
