Wimbledon: Federer confident this time

Federer only had trouble in the first set, but then gave Gasquet no chance in the tiebreak. Compared to the opening duel with Adrian Mannarino, where he benefited from his opponent's abandonment in the 5th set, the eight-time Wimbledon champion clearly showed an improvement in performance. “It feels better. I got into it well, it was a wonderful game. Overall, I’m very happy,” said Federer. In the fight for a place in the round of 39, Briton Cameron Norrie, number 34 in the world, is waiting for the XNUMX-year-old. Daniil Medvedev also lived up to his role as favorite. Number two in the grass classic gave the Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz no chance with 6:4,6:1,6:2. German Alexander Zverev, ranked fourth, was also victorious, defeating Tennys Sandgren (USA) 7:5,6:2,6:3. Another American, Taylor Fritz, is waiting in the third round. His next hurdle is former Wimbledon finalist Marin Cilic from Croatia or French qualifier Benjamin Bonzi. The Italian Matteo Berrettini (7) also came one round further, seeing off the Dutchman Botic van de Zandschulp in three sets. Compatriot Lorenzo Sonego also progressed. He defeated Colombian Galan Riveros in four sets. The Spaniard Roberto Bautista Agut (8) ended the match against the Serbian Miomir Kecmanovic, which was interrupted late on Wednesday evening and continued on Thursday, after five sets with 6:3,6:3,6:7(3),3:6,6:3 as winner. Svitolina is eliminated In the women's category, world number one Ashleigh Barty didn't show any weakness. The Australian defeated the Russian Anna Blinkowa 6:4,6:3. Also one round further is the Czech French Open winner Barbora Krejcikova, who celebrated her 7th match win in a row with a 5,6:4:14 against the German Andrea Petkovic. However, the Ukrainian Elina Svitolina, who was ranked third, lost to the Polish Magda Linette with 3:6,4:6. Of the top ten, only the top seed Barty, who will now face the Czech Katerina Siniakova, her Belarusian pursuer Aryna Sabalenka and the Polish Iga Swiatek have reached the 3rd round.
