Wimbledon – Nakashima v Kyrgios, Garin v De Minaur; Rybakina through – live!
De Minaur #DeMinaur
Martic hasn’t played the big points well so far and she tightens on an overhand forehand, netting to give Rybakina break point. But she saves it superbly, mashing forehands until she can nail one down the line … only to find that Rybakina isn’t letting her off the hook. She forces another break point. Martic mets tamely, and suddenly this is nearly one, Rybakina leading 7-5 4-2.
Meantime, an error from Nakashima hands Kyrgios break point, and he whips a backhand return cross-court … only for it to drop wide, just. Still, Nakashima doubles – that’s his second in the game – then frames a forehand! It’s tough at the top, and Kyrgios now trails 4-6 2-1.
