"The Aussie Open money I earned a few years ago is still helping me. The departures of Saville, Hives and Sharma followed Inglis's exit on Monday with a 5-7 6-3 6-4 loss to Dalma Galfi. "It'll make a lot of difference to me," said the Ballarat battler. True to her character, Hives also put up up a fight, staging a mini comeback from 5-2 down in the second set to extend Monday's match. But after clawing back to 5-5, Saville again dropped serve to stay in the set - as she did in the first set - to hand Tomova victory. She did put up a stand, though, refusing to throw in the towel after jarring her right knee in the sixth game of the deciding set and falling 5-2 behind.
Daria Saville has bombed out of Wimbledon, the Australian No.2 unable to parlay her wildcard entry into another grand slam run.
The departures of Saville and Hives followed Inglis’s exit on Monday with a tough three-set loss to Dalma Galfi. True to her character, Hives also put up up a fight, staging a mini comeback from 5-2 down in the second set to extend Monday’s match. But after clawing back to 5-5, Saville again dropped serve to stay in the set – as she did in the first set – to hand Tomova victory. She did put up a stand, though, refusing to throw in the towel after jarring her right knee in the sixth game of the deciding set and falling 5-2 behind. Alas, Saville joined qualifiers Maddison Inglis and Zoe Hives in failing to clear the first hurdle. The 29-year-old had successfully pleaded with All England Club officials to hand her the last of seven wildcards into the women’s main draw following a form resurgence in 2022 after finally overcoming a chronic foot injury.
