About Post Author
Is Vicky Mboko playing Wimbledon? I haven’t seen her listed for any of the warm-up tournaments, so far, & June 30 is fast approaching. Tks.
Qualifying.
But she’s not playing any of the warm-up events?
She’s already played more than 50 matches this year. Not sure anyone wants her to break.
Her entry ranking wasn’t going to get her into most if not all of the WTA-level tournaments, as most of the players ranked ahead of her want in.
I mean, Ons Jabeur and Maria Sakkari and Anna Kalinskaya were in the qualifying this week.
