The Americans in Wimbledon suffered another main obstacle as their best candidate on Friday. Madison Keys and Naomi Osaka bowed in the third round. Meanwhile, Taylor Fritz and Andrey Rublev advanced to the second week with composed performances in tournaments, which are increasingly formed by high -ranking exits.
Fritz is fighting by injuries and interruptions
Taylor Fritz, the American fifth seed, overcame both physical discomfort and more stops to defeat the Spanish Alejandro Davidovich Fokina 6-4, 6-3, 6 (5) -7, 6-1 and booked a place in the fourth round.
Fritz’s Wimbledon campaign was exhausting. His first round was extended until the next day due to the prohibition of walking and Friday’s meeting was interrupted twice in the same game. The first delay came in the second set at 2-1, when it seemed that the viewer seemed to require medical assistance. The game was stopped for several minutes, while the fan was a tendency and eventually took off from the center court.
Wimbledon Live Score, 5th day
Shortly after the renewal of Fritz re -opened his right elbow – maintained in the previous round against Gabriel Dialo – and threw himself on the ball. The blood visibly dripped from his arm and caused a medical time. He returned to complete the 18 -minute service game and then accelerate to wrap the victory.
The backs are released into the fourth round
Russian Andrey Rublev was clinical in his 7-5, 6-2, 6-3 victories over Frenchman Adrian Mannarino. The seventh seed was dominated by the replacement of the base line and transformed five points of breaks and at the same time Mannarino gave very little maneuver space.
Rublev, which reached the quarterfinals in Wimbledon last year, has now won four of his five meetings against the French. It still proceeds quietly with the draw with minimal stir.
Keys and Osaka bow to when the women’s draw falls apart
She saw even more shocks the female singles, because the sixth seed of Madison Keys was comprehensively defeated 6-3, 6-3 German Laura Siegemund in two. The American was plagued by inconsistency, gathered 31 unforced errors and four double errors. Although she broke Siegemund at the beginning of the second set and looked at a return briefly, the German immediately replied and sealed victory for a little over an hour.
Siegemund, now the oldest player remaining in female singles, will face the Argentine solena Sierra-happy loser-in his first fourth round of Wimbledon.
Meanwhile, Naomi Osaka wasted the one-off lead and lost 3-6, 6-4, 6-4 against the Russian Anastasia Pavlyuchenkov. The four -time Grand Slam champion tried for the first time to reach the last 16 at the All England club, but tried to keep his level as the match was worn. Since winning the Australian Open in 2021, Osaka did not reach the fourth round with any major in the last 12 attempts.
A 27 -year -old woman, who returned to the tour at the beginning of this year after her daughter’s birth, then reduced the depressed figure. “I wanted to do better than before. I thought I could do a great run, but obviously not,” she said.
