The famous Ukrainian tennis player Lesya Tsurenko for the first time in her career made it to the 1/8 finals of the British Open - Wimbledon. Our compatriot achieved this right thanks to the victory in more than 3.5 hours thriller over Ana Bogdan from Romania.

The 34-year-old from Kyiv needed all three sets to reach the fourth round - 4:6, 6:3, 7:6. In the final game, Tsurenko had a match point at 6:5, but Bogdan was able to take the match to a tiebreak, in which the tennis players played 38 draws.
