At this Stage

Four times Svrčina had fallen in Wimbledon qualifying; at the fifth attempt he made the main draw, and for one set — a pinched third-set tiebreak — he made the wait feel worth it. Tien, the 20-year-old left-hander seeded 16th after a strong grass season, reasserted control immediately, finishing with eight breaks of serve and a four-set win. The seed advanced as expected, if not quite unmarked. What came next looked gentle on paper — Márton Fucsovics, through on Luca Van Assche's retirement — but paper misled: the Hungarian put the American out in four.
