At this Stage

There are wins that raise questions and wins that close them; Jiří Lehečka's was the second kind. The No. 13 seed, a 6-4 6-2 6-4 winner over Alexei Popyrin in the first round, beat Alex Molčan 6-3 6-2 6-4 behind 25 aces, the Slovak — a four-set winner over Daniel Altmaier — never getting near the Czech serve. Six sets played at this Wimbledon, six won, none of them close. Lehečka moves quietly into a last-32 meeting with Jaume Munar, accumulating exactly the sort of untroubled mileage a seed wants at this stage of a major.
