The second round of singles matches kicked off on Day 3 at Wimbledon, along with the completion of the first-round matches. On the men’s side, three Grand Slam champions, Alcaraz, Sinner and Medvedev, overcame slow starts to defeat their opponents. No. 8 seed Ruud lost in four sets, becoming the second big seed to exit the men’s singles. So far, the No. 6 and No. 8 seeds have been eliminated in both men’s and women’s singles.
On the women’s side, home favorite Raducanu’s performance was of such a high standard that the victory was no longer ugly. The talented Gauff also advanced smoothly. Former world No. 1 Naomi Osaka failed to equal her best Wimbledon result.
Two Chinese players competed in singles on Day 3. Zhu Lin defeated Pavlyuchenkova to reach the third round of Wimbledon for the first time in her career, while Zhang Zhizhen lost to Struff and missed out on a meeting with Medvedev. Both Chinese women’s doubles teams faltered in their opening matches, while the cross-national team of Zhang Shuai and Miyu Kato defeated their opponents to advance.
