De Minaur knocks out fellow Aussie | 01:05Andrey Rublev crashed out of Wimbledon at the first hurdle on Tuesday, going down in four sets to Argentina’s Francisco Comesana.
”I wouldn’t do it if I was able to hit the racquet on the floor,” Rublev responded when asked about his disturbing outbursts after the match. Djokovic eased to a 6-1, 6-2, 6-2 victory in a shade under two hours on Centre Court against his 123rd-ranked rival. “Obviously coming into Wimbledon this year, it was a little bit of a different circumstance for me because of the knee.
The sixth seed’s time in the Wimbledon spotlight was cut short as she went down 6-4, 6-2 to Spain’s unheralded Jessica Bouzas Maneiro in 66 minutes. However, the 37-year-old, who plans to retire after the Paris Olympics, will still experience an emotional farewell at the All England Club when he plays doubles with brother Jamie later in the tournament.
“I decided this morning. I slept on it, I told my team and my family that I didn’t think I was going to play just based on how I felt yesterday,” Murray said after a training session alongside his brother. “Great respect to him for what he has done in this tournament and this sport. I just hope he will be able to finish his career on his terms,” the seven-time Wimbledon champion said after reaching the second round on Tuesday.
