Result

Lorenzo Sonego won the day's other five-set slugfest, taking a three-tiebreak battle from Canada's Gabriel Diallo 7-6(4) 4-6 7-6(4) 6-7(6) 6-2. The Italian served at 77% and won points at a better clip on both first and second serve, finishing with 180 points to Diallo's 165. Diallo, the big-serving Montrealer who came back from two sets down in round one, finally ran dry in a fifth set where Sonego's consistency (30 unforced errors to 42) settled it.

At this Stage

Two big grass servers, and it went precisely as advertised. Lorenzo Sonego, who had removed No. 29 seed Tomás Martín Etcheverry in four sets, and Gabriel Diallo, who had survived round one from two sets down before Benjamin Bonzi retired in the fifth, took each other to three tiebreaks before the Italian pulled clear, 7-6(4) 4-6 7-6(4) 6-7(6) 6-2. Diallo gave the round one of its best fights and left with nothing but credit. Sonego has been as deep as a Wimbledon round of 16 before, in 2021, and runs get rebuilt exactly this way — next, a last-32 meeting with No. 6 seed Taylor Fritz.
