At this Stage

Neither player will frame the tape — 59 unforced errors between them — but Wang Xinyu was the one still standing when it mattered, breaking three times in the deciding set to beat Elisabetta Cocciaretto 6-3 2-6 6-2. Cocciaretto had levelled the match and looked the likelier for a stretch, yet the loss extended her run of early exits across the grass swing. Wang, a fourth-rounder here in 2024, knows what a Wimbledon fortnight can become; first came 11th seed Belinda Bencic in the second round, where Wang hung tough through a 7-5 opening set and then didn't win another game.
