At this Stage
A rematch nobody had to wait for: Brooksby had beaten Vukic on grass at Eastbourne only days earlier, and the sequel followed the same script with a harsher ending. Once the American took the first-set tiebreak, Vukic never settled, dropping ten of the final twelve games. Two men ranked outside the top 100 walked on; the one walking off with a second-round place is the one whose serve gave up almost nothing all afternoon. Brooksby advanced to meet Ignacio Buse, the 31st seed, in the last 64 — a seeding the American would treat with the same disregard, winning in straight sets.
