LONDON :Frances Tiafoe sent down 23 aces to win 7-6 6-4 6-2 and blow away the second-round challenge of Swiss qualifier Dominic Stricker at Wimbledon on Thursday, while fellow American Taylor Fritz was eliminated.
Tiafoe was slightly wasteful in the first set, squandering two break points at 1-0 and a set point at 5-4, as the opener drifted to a tiebreak which he eventually claimed.He was inches away from being broken in the third set but expertly bailed himself out of a sticky situation by firing off another ace before breaking Stricker at 2-2 with a backhand winner, earning the applause of a limited crowd on Court 12.
Fritz, a quarter-finalist last year, pulled off a miraculous save in his marathon win over Yannick Hanfmann earlier this week but after once again being taken to five sets, this time by Sweden's Mikael Ymer, the ninth seed succumbed.
