Katie Swan defeated Tereza Martincova 7-5 6-2 in the Ilkley round of 32 on grass.
“It's never easy facing a Brit in the grass court season first round, and it's my first time defending points after making the final here last year. I'm really happy with how I handled it and managed to get over the line in straight sets. I love the grass, it really suits my game, and it's nice to be in the UK.”
“It was a very long couple of days for us, waiting to see if we'd play yesterday and waiting to see what was going to happen today, so I'm really happy that I managed to stay focused and play a solid match.”
