Wimbledon: Surging Shnaider beats former No 1 Pliskova to reach second round

Russian Diana Shnaider edged out former world No 1 Karolina Pliskova 4-6, 6-4, 7-5 to move into the second round of Wimbledon at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in London on Monday.

Shnaider, ranked at a career-best No 30, will play the winner of the match between French lucky loser Elsa Jacquemot and American Sloane Stephens next.

It’s the latest victory in a successful season for the 20-year-old. She is fresh off of winning the Bad Homburg title, where she defeated Donna Vekic in the final.
