Top-ranked American Jessica Pegula cruised through her second round match at Wimbledon, wasting little time in defeating Cristina Bucsa.
The fourth seed recorded a 6-1 6-4 victory over the Spaniard, hitting five aces and 15 winners in dominant display. However, there was a moment of controversy involving Pegula and the challenge system.

Pegula finds humor over blown call challenge

During one of her service games in the match, World No. 4 Pegula hit a serve long. Bucsa managed to return the serve, but Pegula did not attempt to chase the ball as she assumed her service to be a fault.
The line umpire, however, called the serve โ€˜in,โ€™ thus granting Bucsa the point for her successful return. Jessica Pegula, unhappy with the call, challenged her own serve, which was in fact declared โ€˜outโ€™ by the Hawkeye.
Pegula did not seem too bothered by the call however, smiling right after the challenge. Furthermore, she took to social media afterwards and reacted to the incident using a laughing emoji.
