What’s going on with Serbian tennis at Wimbledon? Nina Stojanović, ranked 39th in the world, failed to get past the first round of the biggest grass-court tennis tournament. After a grueling 1 hour and 38 minutes, she lost to Russian player Anna Kalinskaya, who is ranked 36th on the WTA list. Kalinskaya broke serve in the 7th and 9th games of the first set to take a crucial lead and won the set 2-0. The second set was a rollercoaster with two breaks on each side, and the winner was decided in a tiebreak, which the Russian clinched 7-4. Kalinskaya will face Danish player Clara Tauson in the second round.
Nina had her chances but couldn’t capitalize. This is another blow for Serbian women’s tennis at Wimbledon, where expectations are sky-high. Is this a sign that changes are needed, or just a bad day on the court? While fans wonder what’s next, Nina will have to hit the training courts and prepare for upcoming challenges.
Wimbledon is known for its tradition and demands, and every loss here stings. Serbian tennis stars are used to big wins but also tough defeats. This time, Nina couldn’t handle the pressure and the quality of her opponent. Will she come back stronger? Only time will tell.
