100 Sasnovich, taking on a second former Wimbledon champion this week after watching Serena Williams limp off injured in their opener, wrapped up the first set in style after rain temporarily halted action on Court No.2. She established a lead in the second too, and fended off the Slovenian to enter the second week without dropping a set in this tournament. On Friday, two-time winner Andy Murray’s run ended with a crushing 4-6, 2-6, 2-6 loss to 10th seed Denis Shapovalov in the third round. After falling behind 1-5 in the first set, Murray, roared on by a raucous crowd, clawed back three games and was close to making it 5-5. But Shapovalov held his nerve to close out the set before dominating the second and the third to hand Murray his most lopsided defeat at Wimbledon.
