Day 4 Results
Rafael Nadal vs Ricardas Berankis
The second seed duly won 6-4 6-4 4-6 6-3 to reach the third round but his 307th Grand Slam match win, putting him one ahead of Martina Navratilova and fourth on the all-time list, will not linger long in his memory.
An off-key Nadal never looked in serious danger of having his bid for the calendar-year Slam wrecked by the world number 106, but he knows he will have to play much better in the rounds ahead to claim his third Wimbledon title.
The statistics rather told the tale with Nadal unusually making more unforced errors than winners — 39-35.
Stefanos Tsitsipas vs Jordan Thompson
Fourth seed Stefanos Tsitsipas romped into the third round at Wimbledon on Thursday with an accomplished 6-2 6-3 7-5 victory over Jordan Thompson under the roof on Court One. On Thursday, the 23-year-old Tsitsipas displayed none of the jitters that lost him a set against qualifier Alexander Ritschard in the first round on Tuesday.
He kept on top of some punishing baseline rallies, breaking the Australian’s serve twice in each of the first two sets and taking the third when Thompson put a forehand long on his own serve at match point. The win sets up a crowd-pleasing clash with another Australian, temperamental showman Nick Kyrgios.
Nick Kyrgios vs Filip Krajinovic
Australian Nick Kyrgios delivered a devastating serving masterclass at Wimbledon as he blasted past Serbia’s Filip Krajinovic 6-2 6-3 6-1 in 85 minutes on Thursday to charge into the third round almost without breaking sweat.
There were none of the chuntering umpire complaints or run-ins with fans that were a feature of his first-round match – Kyrgios barely had time – as he pounded down 24 aces, with only one double fault overall.
Women’s Singles
Iga Swiatek vs Lesley Pattinama Kerkhove
World number one Iga Swiatek struggled with unforced errors but found her composure when it mattered most to see off Dutch lucky loser Lesley Pattinama Kerkhove 6-4 4-6 6-3 to reach the third round at Wimbledon and extend her winning run to 37 matches.
With Thursday’s victory, Swiatek went past Monica Seles and matched Martina Hingis’ run in the 1997 season. The all-time longest winning streak is held by Martina Navratilova, who had 74 successive victories in 1984.
Petra Kvitova vs Ana Bogdan
Twice former champion Petra Kvitova overcame a second-set wobble to reach the Wimbledon third round with a 6-1 7-6(5) defeat of Romanian Ana Bogdan on Thursday.
The big-hitting Czech, seeded 25th, was cruising at 6-1, 5-1 but Bogdan staged a remarkable comeback. Kvitova had a match point when serving at 5-4 but was broken for the second time in a row as Bogdan levelled.
Bogdan then had two set points as Kvitova served at 5-6, one saved with an ace, the other with a forehand winner. A relieved Kvitova finally got the job done in the tiebreak when Bogdan’s backhand found the net under pressure.
Katie Boulter vs Karolina Pliskova
Great Britain’s Katie Boulter rallied from a set down to beat Karolina Pliskova 3-6, 7-6(4), 6-4 to make her maiden appearance in the third round at any Grand Slam event in her career. Pliskova was 2021 finalist and No.6 seed this year and this was the second time in as many weeks on home turf, the Briton rallied from a set down to beat Pliskova as nine days ago, the same feat was achieved at he Rothesay International Eastbourne in the second round.
