Ash Barty and Casey Dellacqua fought hard to subdue Jelena Jankovic and CoCo Vandeweghe in the first round of women’s doubles at Wimbledon on Thursday.
The Australian duo, seeded eighth, won 3-6 6-4 6-0 to take their place in the second round where they will face Chia-Jung Chuang and Misaki Doi.
“They started well and we just had to work our way through the match to get the result that we wanted,” Dellacqua told tennis.com.au.
