The No. 14 seed scored her first tour-level 6-0, 6-0 victory over Yuriko Lily Miyazaki on Court 18 to win a seventh straight match and reach the third round of the Championships.
Quarterfinalist at Wimbledon back in 2018, Kasatkina was ruthless against Miyazaki, who had thrilled the home crowd by winning her first-ever main-draw match at the All England Club earlier this week against Tamara Korpatsch, defeating Harmony Tan’s former doubles partner, 6-2, 6-1 to match her best Grand Slam result.
On court for less than an hour, Kasatkina lost just three points behind her first serve all match and didn’t face a break point, striking a clean 10 winners to seven unforced errors while an out-of-sorts Miyazaki struck a whopping 31 unforced errors—for reference, a single set is comprised of at least 24 points.
The 6-0, 6-0 scoreline is her first on the tour level, having last secured a double bagel back in 2015, when a then-18-year-old Kasatkina thumped Aminat Kushkhova at a $25K ITF Pro Circuit tournament in Minsk.
