British wildcard entrant Liam Broady stunned Fourth seed Casper Ruud in the second round at Wimbledon 2023 on Thursday, 6th July 2023. The Briton delighted the home fans with a stunning final two sets to seal a 6-4, 3-6, 4-6, 6-3, 6-0 victory and reach the third round for the second consecutive year.

This is Broady’s biggest win of his career and the biggest shock of Wimbledon 2023. Ruud has reached three of the last five Grand Slam finals but had struggled at Wimbledon in his three previous appearances. With the loss he has yet again failed to make it to the third round in his career’s four appearances at Wimbledon.
“When I went to bed last night, I was having a think of what I’d say if I won the match, but now I’m here I don’t know what to say,” Broady said in an on-court interview.
“I said to my mum this morning, she doesn’t like watching, but I said I’ve already won 80,000 pounds this week this week so she can chill out a bit.”
Apart from one of them being one of the world’s top players and the other every inch a Tour journeyman, there was very little between the two for much of the match.
