Arantsa Rous will be Maria Sakkari’s opponent in the second round of Wimbledon, whose main draw matches begin today.
The 34-year-old Dutchwoman defeated China’s Yue Yuan 6-2, 6-3 to claim just her third English Grand Slam title and her first since 2012.
Sakkari faced Rouss at Wimbledon in 2021 in the first round and won easily 6-1, 6-1.
The Greek champion is unbeaten in five matches against the current world number 56, who she last played last year in Madrid and defeated her 6-4, 6-4.
