Result
Ninth seed Flavio Cobolli needed two tiebreaks and just under three hours to put away the veteran James Duckworth 7-6(4) 3-6 7-6(3) 6-1 on No.3 Court. Cobolli's extra firepower told over the distance — 51 winners to 32 and 16 aces to eight — and once he edged the third-set breaker the Australian's resistance faded, the Italian racing through the fourth for the loss of a single game. Both men converted only a third of their break points; on grass it came down to who held firmest in the tiebreaks, and that was Cobolli.
