I was down a break early in both sets. Somehow I managed to pull it out,” Wozniacki said. “I feel like I’m in good shape but the first round is always tricky. She definitely gave me a lot of competition. “I love playing on Centre Court. It’s a very special feeling to be out there. I love playing on grass and I love Wimbledon. I’m happy to be through and hopefully, I can get some good recovery.” Wimbledon is the only Grand Slam where Wozniacki has failed to reach at least the quarter-finals.
