Result
Portugal's Jaime Faria earned his first Wimbledon main-draw win, beating Japan's Sho Shimabukuro 7-6(6) 6-3 6-7(2) 6-3 in a serve-heavy contest lasting two hours and 50 minutes. Faria leaned on his delivery, striking 17 aces and winning 86 percent of his first-serve points, and converted three of twelve break points. Shimabukuro, who had beaten Faria's compatriots earlier in the year, matched him from the baseline but could not break serve often enough.
