After the almost three-hour match, Djokovic congratulated Fearnley on a “great match”. “I saw him for the first time two days ago.” Therefore, there is always an element of surprise. “Most British players know exactly how to play on grass.”
On what the world number two described as a “very windy day”, he also had some luck in the fourth set. “All in all, this match deserved a fifth set, but I’m very happy that it didn’t happen,” the Serb told the audience on court with a smile. The “Djoker” did not want to go into detail about whether the knee injury he suffered in Paris played a role. He did admit, however, that he “didn’t feel very well” in the third and fourth sets. His next opponent is the Australian Alexei Popyrin.
Hurkacz has to retire due to injury
The tournament is over for Hurkacz, however. With the score at 6:7 (2/7) 4:6 6:2 6:6, the Pole, seeded number seven, dived for a volley in the tiebreak and made it 8/7, but landed badly and had to be treated on his right knee. After the timeout, the Halle finalist tried again with a volley, but without success, but then had to give up with the score at 8/9.

The number eleven seeded Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas was also caught out in the second round, losing to the Finn Emil Ruusuvuori 6:7 (6/8) 6:7 (10/12) 6:3 3:6. Olympic champion Alexander Zverev stormed through the third round with ease. The number four seeded German defeated the American Marc Giron 6:2 6:1 6:4.
Wawrinka loses veteran duel
The Swiss veteran Stan Wawrinka’s match against Gael Monfils lasted just twelve minutes. The match, which was abandoned the day before at 5:5 in the third set due to darkness, ended 7:6 (7/5) 6:4 7:6 (7/3) for the Frenchman, who is almost two years younger. Wawrinka will turn 40 next March. “It was a veteran’s duel, which is why we still love this sport. We are good friends, Stan is someone I look up to,” said Monfils afterwards.
Surprising end for Pegula
An unexpected exit came for the number five in the women’s singles: Jessica Pegula from the USA lost to the Chinese Wang Xinyu (WTA No. 42) 4:6 7:6 (9/7) 1:6. The Russian Daria Kasatkina had a short day at work. The number 14 of the third Grand Slam tournament left the court after 50 minutes and a 6:0 6:0 win over the British Yuriko Lily Miyazaki.
In the evening, the top seeded Pole Iga Swiatek was in a class of her own, beating Croatian Petra Martic 6:4 6:3. It was the Madrid, Rome and French Open winner’s 21st win in a row. The five-time major winner hopes to make it past the quarter-finals for the first time in Wimbledon.
Erler/Miedler out after missed match point
There was no good news from an Austrian perspective. The Davis Cup doubles Alexander Erler/Lucas Miedler lost in the first round, although the ÖTV duo had a match point at 6:5 in the third set against the duo Neal Skupski/Michael Venus (GBR/NZL/9). In the end, after the 7:6 (7/5) 3:6 6:7 (5/10) it was time to pack your bags for Erler/Miedler. Sebastian Ofner will not play in the doubles alongside Sam Weissborn until Friday.
