Double consecutive finalist of Roland Garros, and the last US Open, Kasper Rud said goodbye after the second match at Wimbledon. The better player in five sets was the local tennis player Liam Brody, who won the last set without losing a game.

The Norwegian came to London without great ambitions, as he himself emphasizes that he never expects anything on grass. The elimination of the 142nd player in the world, however, was not expected by many.

And Miloš Raonic was also eliminated, after a great fight and three hours of play, the 15th player in the world, the American Tommy Paul, won with 3:1.

Raonic was out of rhythm for a long time due to injuries and came to Wimbledon as the 849th player.

The Russian derby with Aslan Karatsyova went to Andrey Rublev, also 3:1, and the seventh seed, Rublev will wait for his rival - he certainly does not want Kazakhstan's Aleksandar Bublik to be in the third round, who won him in the Halle final just before the start of Wimbledon.

Aleksandar Zverev beat the Dutch Gijs Brouven in three sets, who lost two sets in a tie-break.

Due to the rain, the Italian derby with Lorenzo Sonega went to Mateo Berretini (3:1).

In the women's section, the heroine is the youngest, Russian Mira Andrejeva. Although she is playing on the court for the first time in her career, the 16-year-old tennis player is in the third round, after Barbora Krejčikova handed her the match with the results 6:3, 4:0.

In her debut participation at the Grand Slam, Roland Garros, Andrejeva also reached the third round.

In the derby, after a great fight, the French Caroline Garcia eliminated the Canadian Leila Fernades (2:1).

Dona Vekić's victory over American Sloane Stevens was not lacking in a big fight, and in the two-and-a-half-hour match, the woman from Osijek was better at the end after a big turnaround (2:1).

In the next round, Dona will play against Czech Marketa Vondrušova, who knocked out the 12th favorite from Russia, Viktorija Kudrmetova, in two sets.
