London: Wimbledon champion Barbora Krejcikova moved into the third round with a 6-4, 3-6, 6-2 win over American world number 67 Caroline Dolehide on Thursday.
The Czech 17th seed took one hour and 51 minutes to grind out another hard-fought victory to keep her title defence alive.
Krejcikova had powered back from a set down to beat Philippines star Alexandra Eala in the first round on Tuesday.
The two-time Grand Slam champion has endured a difficult time since defeating Italy's Jasmine Paolini in the final last year.
The 29-year-old was out of action until May after suffering a back injury and lost in the second round of the recent French Open.
