The bloodbath that has occurred in the first rounds of Wimbledon was brought up in an on-court interview. Twenty-three of the 64 seeded competitors in the men's and women's singles draws lost in the first round.

On Wednesday, Aryna Sabalenka was questioned about whether she pays any attention to the scores of the games around her.

The world No. 1 stated, "It's really sad to see so many top players lose in the first round. As the time shows, you better focus on yourself and stay away from the results." You will certainly have the big picture in mind, but it's still best to approach it one step at a time and give it your all each time you're here competing.

Before continuing, almost as an afterthought, "I hope there are no upsets anymore in this tournament. If you know what I mean," she smiled.

This is the first time the Belarusian has been the top seed at Wimbledon. And despite the fact that many of the seeded players have struggled on the grass courts of the All England Club, Sabalenka appeared at ease as she defeated the world number one. Marie Bouzkova 7-6(4), 6-4 on Center Court, No. 48.

Two-time defending champion and second seed Carlos Alcaraz also cruised into the third round a few hours later, defeating British amateur Oliver Tarvert in ease by a score of 6-1, 6-4, 6-4.

Although the tournament is still in its early stages, Sabalenka seems to have adapted to the transition from clay to grass. She has also moved past her defeat in the championship match of the French Open, which is more important.

She made 70 unforced mistakes in that loss to Coco Gauff. On Wednesday, however, Sabalenka had more command, landing 41 winners and 18 unforced mistakes.

But the game still had some anxious moments

Bouzkova made the first move and surged ahead 6-5 since neither was able to break early. Perhaps Sabalenka needed to break as she quickly broke back before taking the tiebreak.

In the game, "That was a tough moment," Sabalenka remarked on the court. "Honestly, I was just trying to put the ball back on that side and hope that I'll be able to break her back." Because I hadn't been able to break her serve up until then. I felt a little bit better after I was able to break her back at that time. I believe that's why I was able to win the tiebreak and secure the victory in straight sets.

Sabalenka has maintained her composure despite this Wimbledon, which has seen the larger names fall much earlier than anticipated. Continuing in the same vein will help her as she strives to beat her previous performance in London.

The 27-year-old has been attempting to overcome the restrictions of being a hardcourt expert, the surface on which she has won all three of her Grand Slam championships to date.

Additionally, she is hoping to win her first significant triumph of the year. She made it to the Australian Open final but was defeated by Madison Keys in three sets in the championship match. She advanced to the French Open final on clay for the first time last month, but she was defeated by Gauff in three sets.

She will now attempt to advance beyond her two semi-final appearances in her previous two visits to London when she competes at Wimbledon.

However, she has made some good preparation before going to England. She said that Novak Djokovic, the seven-time Wimbledon winner, gave her some "honest advice" during their training session.

On grass, in particular, Sabalenka does have the game to cause some harm. Wimbledon's low-bounce-fast-zip surface is ideal for her hard-hitting style. The big serve is another potent weapon.

At Wimbledon, she has ticked the correct boxes thus far.
