Ukrainian tennis player Lesya Tsurenko could not overcome the stage of the 1/8 finals of Wimbledon 2023. 34-year-old Ukrainian (No. 60 WTA) lost in the fight for a ticket to the quarterfinals to American Jessica Pegula (No. 4 WTA). The match lasted one hour and 13 minutes.. The meeting ended with the defeat of our compatriot with a score of 1:6, 3:6. Note that Lesya played in the 1/8 finals of Wimbledon for the first time in her career.. Prior to that, her best result at the Grass Major was a third-round elimination (2017, 2022).
In the 1/16 finals, Tsurenko defeated Romanian Ana Bogdan in a crazy tie-break. The bout lasted 3 hours and 40 minutes, making it the second longest match in women's Wimbledon history.. Tsurenko and Bogdan also had the longest tie-break in the history of the Grand Slam tournaments in women's singles - 37 minutes. Thus, in the Wimbledon-2023 single draw, only Elina Svitolina remains to represent our country. On Sunday, July 9, she will fight for reaching the quarterfinals against the Belarusian Victoria Azarenka.
