Wimbledon 2025 continues to provide top-grade tennis, with the highest-seeded women demonstrating their excellence on the grass of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club. Three of the sport’s shining stars-Iga Swiatek, Barbora Krejcikova, and Elena Rybakina—have managed to qualify for the third round of the women’s singles competition.
Swiatek Battles Past McNally in Three Sets
Poland’s tennis star and five-time Grand Slam winner Iga Swiatek showed nerves of steel in a tightly fought second-round match against American Caty McNally. Swiatek bounced back after a slow start to win 5-7, 6-2, 6-1 and secure her spot in the third round.
The eighth seed now gears up for a challenging match ahead as she takes on another American, Danielle Rose Collins, in what could be an entertaining encounter.
Defending Champion Krejcikova Demonstrates Her Mettle
Current Wimbledon champion Barbora Krejcikova of the Czech Republic weathered the storm in a difficult second-round match. The 29-year-old emerged victorious against American competitor Caroline Dolehide with a hard-fought 4-6, 6-3, 6-2 win.
Krejcikova, who has an all-court game and nerves of steel, seems good in the title defense and will be a serious threat in the next rounds.
Rybakina Sweeps Past Sakkari
Kazakhstan’s Elena Rybakina delivered a commanding performance, overpowering Greece’s Maria Sakkari in straight sets, 6-3, 6-1. Rybakina’s hard-hitting groundstrokes and reliable serve gave Sakkari no chance to make a comeback.
This commanding win sets Rybakina up as a formidable force as the tournament progresses, with her eyes firmly set on a deep run.
Early Exits for Kenin and Sakkari
While some stars improved, others faltered. USA’s Sofia Kenin and Greece’s Maria Sakkari were both knocked out in the second round, unable to keep pace and match form with their adversaries. Their untimely departures represent an underwhelming conclusion to what promised to be formidable campaigns.

With big guns Swiatek, Krejcikova, and Rybakina still alive in the competition, the women’s singles competition is still wide open, and one can expect anything to happen in the next rounds.
