LONDON : Holger Rune sailed through to the second round of Wimbledon for the first time with a 7-6 6-3 6-2 victory over British wildcard George Loffhagen in a rain-delayed match on Wednesday.
Tuesday's first set was closely fought, with Loffhagen cheered on by a supportive home crowd and showing much more skilful play than his world ranking of 371 would suggest, having climbed from 981st at the end of 2022. After play resumed the next day on Court Three, the 20-year-old Dane saved three break points in the first game of the second set, broke Loffhagen in the next game and held serve to race into a 3-0 lead.
Loffhagen, who worked in a London pub on a break from the sport before rejoining the men's Tour last year, could not halt Rune's momentum in the third set, netting to surrender a break in the first game.
