With an astonishing final score of 18-20, the tie-break between Bogdan and Tsurenko now stands as the longest tie-break ever recorded in women’s tennis. This remarkable feat surpasses the previous record of 36 points, set during a match between Denisa Allertova and Johanna Konta at Roland Garros in 2015.

Interestingly, the epic tie-break achieved by Bogdan and Tsurenko not only places them at the top of the women’s rankings but also ties them with an extraordinary feat from the men’s circuit. The record-setting tie-break is shared with the legendary 38-point tie-break between Andy Roddick and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga during the 2007 Australian Open.

As Tsurenko revels in her historic achievement, her focus now shifts to her next opponent at Wimbledon, the formidable 4th-seeded Jessica Pegula. The match against Pegula promises to be a tough challenge, especially considering the physical toll of Tsurenko’s marathon battle with Bogdan.

After spending over three grueling hours on the court, Tsurenko faces an uphill battle in her upcoming match. Nevertheless, her recent success ensures substantial earnings, which she has pledged to donate towards assisting her home country of Ukraine.

Amidst the conflict that has plagued Ukraine, Tsurenko initially contemplated leaving tennis to become a volunteer and aid her nation. However, fellow Ukrainian player Alexandr Dolgopolov convinced her that continuing her career would provide the best support for Ukraine. With a selfless spirit, Tsurenko announced her intention to donate almost all her tournament earnings to help her compatriots in need.

Furthermore, despite battling discomfort in her elbow, Tsurenko has managed to overcome the physical challenges at Wimbledon. Reflecting on her condition, she expressed optimism about the progress she has made in managing her injury.

“I’ve experienced less pain lately. It’s incredible because last year they told me the inflammation had reached the bone and that retirement might be necessary. Tennis is my greatest passion, so I took some time off to focus on rebalancing my body. Although the pain persists at night, I can train and compete during the day,” Tsurenko revealed, providing updates on her current physical well-being.

As Lesia Tsurenko’s journey at Wimbledon continues, fans eagerly anticipate her next matches, hoping to witness further displays of resilience and remarkable tennis prowess. The record-breaking tie-break against Ana Bogdan serves as a testament to the extraordinary talents and unyielding spirit exhibited by these remarkable athletes.
