LONDON, June 30 (Reuters) – Highlights of the second day at Wimbledon on Tuesday (times GMT):
1120 ANISIMOVA THROUGH TO SECOND ROUND, BOULTER EXITS
Amanda Anisimova, last year’s finalist, advanced to the second round after a 6-3 6-2 win over North Macedonia’s Lina Gjorcheska.
The disappointment continued for home fans as Katie Boulter suffered a first-round defeat to 18-year-old Tyra Grant, losing 6-4 6-2. Boulter’s exit followed a grim first day for the hosts, with 10 Britons already eliminated.
