Bulgaria's leading tennis player defeated in 58 minutes with 6:1, 6:0 the American Usue Maitane Arconada. For her qualification, Pironkova earned 20 points for the world rankings, where she is now 103rd.
Her next opponent in London will be determined in the match between Reka Luca Jani (Hungary) and the British Naiktha Baines participating with a "wild card".

Bulgaria's tennis players Viktoriya Tomova and Elitsa Kostova followed Pironkova's example in the championship.
