Tennis: Sabalenka cruises into second round at Wimbledon, Medvedev crashes out

# Tennis: Top seed Aryna Sabalenka cruised into the Wimbledon second round, beating Canadian qualifier Carson Branstine 6-1, 7-5. The 27-year-old Belarusian is a three-time Grand Slam champion but has never been beyond the semi-finals at the All England Club. She is looking to ease the pain of losing in the finals of the Australian Open and the French Open this year. Meanwhile, former US Open champion Daniil Medvedev suffered a shock first-round defeat against France’s Benjamin Bonzi. Bonzi beat ninth-seeded Medvedev in four sets.
