LONDON : Swiss veteran Stan Wawrinka displayed vintage form at Wimbledon on Thursday to book a third-round clash with holder Novak Djokovic and Alexander Zverev won a rain-delayed opener as the grasscourt Grand Slam cleared its backlog.
Persistent rain on the first three days of the year's third major meant organisers were left with little chance of finishing matches on schedule and former world number two Zverev took to the court for his first-round clash only on Thursday. It was a memorable day for Andrey Rublev who overcame fellow Russian Aslan Karatsev 6-7 6-3 6-4 7-5 to bag his 50th Grand Slam match victory and move into the third round.
