Every series has its end. Andy Murray has won the previous eight games against John Isner. But on Wednesday, in their ninth match, he suffered his first defeat, and it was in his temple – at Wimbledon Central. In the second round duel of the 2022 tournament, the British surrendered to the Americans 4:6, 6:7 (4), 7:6 (3), 4:6 after more than three hours of battle.

Isner bombed Murray with a serve on Wednesday – he sent 36 aces, scored 98 of 129 with his own pass and couldn’t break. And as a bonus, American No. 20 seed Jannick Sener will face the Championship “Ten” in the 1/16 Finals.

Carlos Alcaraz entered a previously unknown territory. The 19-year-old Spaniard defeated Talon Grixpur 6:4, 7:6 (0), 6:3 and was promoted to the third round of Wimbledon for the first time in his career. In this fifth-ranked stage, Morgan will play Oscar Otti with the number “32”.

On Wednesday, the Dutch wild card player at Wimbledon won a four-set match on the spots where the number 15 was placed as Riley Opelka. Another contender for the 25-year-old from Rosendal will be Nikoloz Basilashvili, Championship “22”.

Alejandro Davidovich Hubert Hurkacz was eliminated in the first round after breaking the decisive tie. On Wednesday, he lost to Jerry Vesely in the same circumstances. He will face the Czech in the 1/16 finals, Tommy Ball. Ranked to No. 30, the American gave barely seven Jewels to Adrian Mannarino.
