LONDON, July 4 (Reuters) - Defending Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina came from a set down on Centre Court to beat American Shelby Rogers 4-6 6-1 6-2 in the first round on Tuesday. Rogers powered through the first set with Rybakina looking out of practice having pulled out of a warm-up tournament in Eastbourne due to a virus. The 2022 champion never looked back, with another break coming in the seventh game when Rogers double faulted having already saved three break points. Rybakina, who served 12 aces in the match, closed out victory with a hold to love. She will face either Japanese lucky loser Nao Hibino or France's Alize Cornet in the second round.

Stosur to retire after Australian Open
  + stars: | 2023-01-14 | by ( ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +1 min
Jan 14 (Reuters) - Former U.S. Open champion Sam Stosur on Saturday said she will retire from the sport following this month's Australian Open, 21 years after her first appearance at Melbourne Park. Ahead of last year's Australian Open, the 38-year-old said that she would focus only on doubles. Stosur beat Serena Williams in the U.S. Open final in 2011 and was a runner-up in the French Open a year earlier. She has enjoyed greater success while partnering other players, winning four Grand Slams in women's doubles and three in mixed doubles. Stosur will play in the women's doubles at the Jan. 16-29 Australian Open alongside France's Alize Cornet, as well as the mixed doubles with compatriot Matthew Ebden.
Raducanu's 2022 season has been blighted by different kinds of injuries, ranging from blisters to side strains and hip and back problem, and she was playing in her first semi-final since winning the U.S. Open last year. The trouble started for 19-year-old Raducanu midway through the second set in her first meeting against Latvia's world number 19 Ostapenko when she took an off-court medical timeout to get treatment for a left glute injury. Ostapenko won the Korea Open title in 2017 - the same year she lifted her maiden Grand Slam trophy at Roland Garros - and will meet world number 24 Alexandrova next in Seoul. Second seed Alexandrova advanced to her second final of the season by defeating Germany's Wimbledon semi-finalist Tatjana Maria 6-2 6-4 earlier on Saturday.
