On Thursday, July 2, the second-round match of Wimbledon 2026 will take place between Ukrainian Marta Kostyuk (No. 13 WTA) and “neutral” tennis player Anna Blinkova (No. 114 WTA).
The match is expected to start between 15:15 and 15:30 Kyiv time.
The “neutral” status means that Anna Blinkova is Russian and competes as a neutral athlete without a flag or other national symbols.
In official singles matches, these tennis players met only once—in March 2025 at the WTA 1000 tournament in Miami, where Marta Kostyuk won 6:2, 6:1.
In the previous round of Wimbledon 2026, Anna Blinkova defeated another Ukrainian tennis player, Yulia Starodubtseva, and Marta Kostyuk beat Argentine Nadezhda Podoroska (6:1, 6:2).
In the match against the Russian, Marta Kostyuk is considered the favorite due to her significantly higher rating and a successful season, the best of her career.
