Wimbledon on Sling TV, Day 6
(Coverage starts at 8am ET on ESPN, all times Eastern)
It rained a again on Friday, and no one was happier than Novak Djokovic, whose match against American Sam Querrey was suspended with the defending champ down 2 sets to none. The rain didn’t come fast enough to save Stan Wawrinka, the #5 men’s tennis player, who lost to #165 Juan Martin Del Potro by a score of 3-6 6-3 7-6 6-3. Serena Williams got more than she bargained for from 65th-ranked Christina McHale who forced Williams deep into the third set, before falling 6-7 6-2 6-4. Meanwhile, Venus Williams found her match delayed by rain at match point, and had to wait before finishing off 19-year-old Darya Kasatkina 7-5 4-6 10-8.
Center Court
8am ET
Simona Halep (ROU) [5] v Kiki Bertens (NED) [26]
Romanian Simona Halep, ranked 5th in the world, defeated Francesca Schiavone, ranked #111, 6-1 6-1 in just 65 minutes. This is Halep’s 5th Wimbledon, but the first time she’s made it past the 1st round. Kiki Bertens, #28 in the world, beat Mona Barthel 6-4 6-4 to advance to the 3rd round for the first time at Wimbledon.
John Millman (AUS) v Andy Murray (GBR) [2]
John Millman, #67, upset Benoit Paire 7-6 6-3 4-6 6-2, thanks largely to Paire’s 63 unforced errors. Millman has made it to the 3rd round at his very first Wimbledon, and for the first time in any of his Grand Slam appearances. Andy Murray made quick work of Yen-Hsun Lu 6-3 6-2 6-1, and appears to be headed for his 8th consecutive quarterfinals at Wimbledon.
Jack Sock (USA) [27] v Milos Raonic (CAN) [6]
Jack Sock beat Robin Haase 6-1 6-3 6-7 6-4 to move on to the third round, his best showing in three appearances at Wimbledon, though he did win a doubles title there in 2014. Milos Raonic took Andreas Seppi in straight sets, 7-6 6-4 6-2, hammering away with a staggering 25 aces, to make it to the third round for the second year in a row. In 2014 he made it to the semis, falling to Novak Djokovic.
