The passage of Colombian tennis players through Wimbledon ended earlier than expected. María Camila Osorio and Emiliana Arango fell into the first round of the London Grand Slam, leaving the main female team without national representation.
Camila Osorio (57th of the WTA ranking) could not repeat the second round reached last year and was surpassed with authority by the American Danielle Collins (54th) by 6-3 and 6-2.
On track 4 of the All England Club, Collins weighs his power, especially in grass, where the Colombian found no answers. Although Osorio managed to break Collins's service once on each set, it was not enough: he gave his two times in the first partial and three more in the second. The American had break opportunities in six of the eight turns of Osorio, a ballast that ended up sentencing the game in just over an hour.
After this triumph, Collins, who has never gone from eighths in Wimbledon, will face the Slovenian Veronika Erjavec, number 171 in the world, who surprised to eliminate the Ukrainian Marta Kostyuk.
For his part, Emiliana Arango (76) debuted for the first time in the final Wimbledon box after trying without success in the previous phase during four editions. Its premiere ended with defeat against Australian Daria Kasatkina (16th) by 7-5 and 6-3. Arango came to have an advantage in the first set, but ended up giving his service four times against a more experienced rival on lawn, although Kasatkina did not win a match from Roland Garros.
Despite these eliminations in individual, Camila Osorio will continue in London to dispute the female doubles with the American Alycia Parks. In the male branch, there are also no Colombians in the main singles, although Nicolás Barrientos will compete in doubles making a partner with the Indian Rithvik Bollipalli.
With these defeats, Wimbledon stays for now without Colombian presence in individual, in a tournament that continues to show how demanding it can be for representatives of the country.
