Marie Bouzkova continues to confirm that grass is where her tennis shines the most. The Czech player advanced to the round of 16 at Wimbledon after coming back against Liudmila Samsonova in a highly demanding match, reaching this stage in a Grand Slam for the second time in her career. The previous one was also on the grass of the All England Club in 2023. Under the guidance of Marc López, with whom she is having her best season in recent years, Bouzkova once again secures a spot among the last 16 at the London tournament.
The Czech player acknowledged that the key was to resist when the match became challenging after losing the first set. "It was a very tough match, a real battle and very evenly matched. I knew I had to raise my level and play a bit better. In the end, the difference was just a few points," she explained after a match marked by equality and tension until the end. Bouzkova kept her composure in the tiebreak of the second set and ended up imposing her greater consistency from the baseline to complete the comeback.
Grass, her favorite surface
Beyond the result, Bouzkova once again made it clear that grass enhances the best aspects of her tennis. The 26-year-old player stated that she feels particularly comfortable with the way she can move on this surface. "I like moving on grass, the movement comes naturally to me," she explained. Additionally, she emphasized that this type of court allows her to be more aggressive and come to the net more often, a variation she enjoys and cannot exploit as much on other surfaces.
This love affair with Wimbledon once again positions Bouzkova in a privileged position at a tournament where she already knows what it's like to reach the second week. With the confidence gained from an outstanding grass court season and the collaboration with Marc López yielding results, the Czech player faces the round of 16 convinced that she can still prolong her best performance of the year.
