Emergency repairs were required at Eastbourne on Wednesday when the net broke during a match between Wimbledon champion Barbora Krejcikova and Britain's Jodie Burrage. Second seed Krejcikova was serving to stay in the second set when she appeared to get lucky with a forehand that ruffled the net and dropped over onto Burrage's side.

Reigning Wimbledon champion Barbora Krejcikova showed the ultimate sportsmanship as she conceded a point to British star Jodie Burrage, after her shot had gone through a rip in the net and landed on the other side of the court.

Wimbledon champion Barbora Krejcikova saved two match points on British opponent Harriet Dart’s serve before rallying to win her opening match at the grass-court Eastbourne Open.
