The 34-year-old had edged the first two sets before surging into a 5-0 lead in the third as the finish line moved came into view. However, in an instant, the two-time former champion’s confidence seemed to desert him and he lost the next seven games in succession. Eventually, though, he was able to close out his first victory at Wimbledon since 2017 after another titanic back-and-forth battle in the fourth set. He will now face Oscar Otte, who won a dramatic match of his own, defeating qualifier Arthur Rinderknech 13-12 in the fifth and final set.
