Jakub Menšík vs Grigor Dimitrov — 7-6(5) 4-6 7-5 6-3

Result

Grigor Dimitrov, back at Wimbledon on a wild card, upset the 15th seed Jakub Menšík 7-6(5) 4-6 7-5 6-3 over three hours and 13 minutes on No.1 Court. Menšík served 31 aces and hit 54 winners but could not break through — he converted just two of fifteen break points, a damning number, while Dimitrov took three of nine and controlled the bigger moments. The Bulgarian's variety and calm on the key points carried a match his younger opponent dominated on the raw serving stats but lost where it counted.
