"

Apulia is defeated by Dennis Novak!
Lucas Pouille (ATP 19) misses the third round at Wimbledon. Against the Austrian Dennis Novak (ATP 171), he was already behind in the sets after almost an hour of play with 0: 2. The Frenchman got up and, in the tiebreak of the third set, pushed back two match points and claimed sets three and four. Novak fought back from the start of the break and made a breakthrough in the first Apulian service. This time, the Austrian did not take the lead and finished the match after just under three hours with an Ace.
So it's going boom, yes and then krachts
Never fired at 236 kilometers per hour? It's just happened to John Millman. His opponent Milos Raonic hit him in the third set of that ball around the ears. It is the third fastest service in the history of Wimbledon. By the way, the personal record of Raonic is 250 km / h.
This was not the only Canadian service in this game, which was not to be rendered. This "Raonic-Ass-Compilation" should clarify the 34 aces beaten in three sentences:
Auspicious for Stan: His Donna wins the
Donna Vekic, the Croatian friend of Stan Wawrinka, continues to convince to Wimbledon. Against Swede Rebecca Peterson, the 22-year-old athlete leaves nothing to burn and wins in two sets 7: 5, 6: 4. Vekic was clearly better at decisive moments than his opponent. She was able to use half of her eight breakballs throughout the match, while Peterson only got three in the first set. Vekic now meets Yanina Wickmayer, who eliminated German Andrea Petkovic. Another victory by Vekic against the Belgian (WTA 101) in the range of possible.
Wickmayer in turn won against Petkovic's poor health clearly in two sets with 6: 4 6: 3. Petkovic had to ask for several medical time outs.
The bull in the vegetable shop
Not the elephant in the china shop. After his departure victory over Dudi Sela Rafael Nadal himself goes to the grocery store and covers himself with vegetables. Does he buy spinach for his muckis? And what sausage does he choose? Questions on the questions
Kyrgios meets Ball Girl and says, "I should have cried."
Ouch! It's just tennis every day, but it hurts to watch it. Nick Kyrgios hits one of his dreaded services in his match against Denis Istomin on Tuesday and hits a ball. A tennis ball with 217 things on the arm. It really hurts. Istomin and Kyrgios care about the girl who can not hold back her tears. The young woman is guided and neat. The Australian expresses regret at the press conference following his victory in 4 sets and praises the girl for keeping her strong, adding, "I would have cried". The ugly scene, including Kyrgios PK cutout is in the video below
The most important games of the day
Today, the first participants in the third round are determined. Roger Federer and Stan Wawrinka are also in action. For the record, Grand Slam winner Lukas Lacko (ATP 73) should not be a threat en route to the ninth Wimbledon title. In the previous two games, Slovakia's Federer managed a total of just 13 games an average of 2 games per set.
Stan Wawrinka's hopes after the exploit against Grigor Dimitrov are high. He plays – probably more or less at the same time as Roger Federer – against the Italian Thomas Fabbiano. The Lausanne has never played against the current world number 133. Fabbiano is certainly not an expert in turf. There is an interesting fact about the 29-year-old: Fabbiano leads after the first round in the statistics of successful returns. In front of his Indian first-round opponent, Yuki Bhambri, he made a 83% setback in the peloton. However, the Wawrinka bonuses are definitely more quality than the Bhambris
Things are different in the long awaited duel between challenger Gilles Muller (ATP 50) and favorite Philipp Kohlschreiber (ATP 27) (from 16h00) . Luxembourger Muller beat Wimbledon last week to win the quarterfinals against Nadal, and survived a five-set thriller against Michael Mmoh of the United States in the first round. The German Kohlschreiber feels very good on the green carpet and won the previous two duels against Muller.
Serena Williams is out of the 135 world rankings. Viktoriya Tomova from Bulgaria can hardly be stopped. For her, it's the second appearance on Wimbledon lawn after the birth of her daughter Olympia a dozen months ago.
The surprise of Day 2: Sharapova out
Day 2 at Wimbledon has already brought some surprises. The most prominent victim: Maria Sharapova. The former world champion first fought his compatriot Vitaly Dyachenko for more than three hours to qualify for the second round before being beaten. After winning, set the favorite in sets two and three with break. Djachenko was not infected, but handled each of the rebreak and returned his first match ball to 6: 7 7: 6 6: 4
Bencic motivated after a strong performance
In addition to Stan Wawrinka and Belinda Bencic in the first round exploit. In the first round, the 21-year-old Swiss native of Eastern Switzerland won 7: 6 (7: 2), 6: 3 against world No. 6 Caroline Garcia
"This was not still my best tennis " Bencic stuck. "But I played smartly." It was not up to her to play the game. Above all, she had been mentally strong. The cooperation with the coach Vlade Platenik, which had started last week, went very smoothly.
Bencic does not want to fall into euphoria. She warns: "My next opponent Alison Riske is probably even more dangerous than Garcia." But the most important for her is: "I'm healthy again."
