to play doubles for the first time since the French Open, Erakovic was denied the chance when her first-time partner Eugenie Bouchard suffered an abdominal strain in her singles match against eventual title winner Belinda Bencic, just two hours before their doubles match was due to begin. Erakovic began her campaign at the Wimbledon Championships with a singles match against 95th-ranked Yulia Putintseva. In one of the longest sets she had ever played, only three games had been completed after 26 minutes. The first two took six and eight minutes, and then Erakovic took 12 minutes to serve her second and fourth games (20 and 18 points respectively) as every game went with serve through to six-all after an hour and 11 minutes. The tie-break took a further nine minutes, with Erakovic taking a 5–2 lead before Putintseva stormed back with five successive points to win the set. With Putintseva serving first, the second set also went with serve for the first eleven games. Erakovic then blew a 30–15 lead with three backhand unforced errors to lose the set and the match 6–7, 5–7. She had committed 43 unforced errors, as well as serving five double faults, compared with 29 unforced errors and no double-faults from her opponent. In the doubles she was again partnered by Watson, and their first match was against Bojana Jovanovski and Nadiia Kichenok. Dropping their second service game, then trailing 1–4, they won the next five games to take the first set in 32 minutes. They broke service again in the third game of the second set, and had a match break point at 5–3 but couldn't convert. They then dropped their own serve to be level at 5–5 after being two points from victory. Eventually they went to a tie-break where, from 3–all at the first change of ends, they lost only one more point, the final score being 6–4, 7–6. Their second-round match was against the 16th seeded pair of Medina Garrigues and Erakovic's former partner, Parra Santonja. Breaking the Spaniards' serve twice, they raced to a 4–1 lead, but Erakovic and Watson then each dropped their own service game to bring the match back to parity. Games then went with serve to yet another tie-break, where they were only able to win two points. On the right end of three service breaks in the second set, Erakovic and Watson were eventually able
