As Alex de Minaur sweeps aside junior rival Jaume Munar for the second time at a major, Australia's last women's singles representative, Daria Saville, lets slip a lead to bow out at Wimbledon.
Australia's Alex de Minaur has taken down Jaume Munar for the second time in a major this year to reach the third round of Wimbledon , while Daria Saville lost a thrilling and heartbreaking match to 18th seed Marta Kostyuk.
De Minaur had looked in the mood to race to victory so quickly against an opponent struggling with double-fault trouble — Munar coughed up nine in total — that he would be able to finish before his girlfriend, British number one Katie Boulter, started her all-British election day special against Harriet Dart.
Australia's world number 82 looked on track for her first third round at the grasscourt major since 2018 after taking the first set and leading 3-0 and 5-2 in the second set.
