London: Defending Wimbledon champion Barbora Krejcikova powered back from a set down to beat Philippines star Alexandra Eala in the first round on Tuesday.
The Czech was outplayed in the first set but lost just three more games as she completed a 3-6, 6-2, 6-1 win on Centre Court.
Eala, a finalist on the grass at Eastbourne last week, broke Krejcikova twice in the first set to take an early grip on the match, producing a succession of fizzing deep groundstrokes.
The rusty Krejcikova made 19 unforced errors in an untidy display, struggling to find rhythm with her ball toss on the baking court.
But the 2024 champion quickly gained a foothold in the second set and raced into a 5-0 lead, eventually taking the set as she cut her error count drastically.
