Bublik Breezes Past Wolf
World no. 26 Alexander Bublik needed just an hour and 46 minutes to oust J.J. Wolf and reach the third round at Wimbledon for the third consecutive year.
Bublik, who lost in the opening round in his first two appearances at the grass court major, is yet to reach the fourth round at Wimbledon. Playing in the main draw for the fifth time, he is once again in the round of 32 and is looking good to reach the round of 16 for the first time.
The Kazakh had begun this year’s Wimbledon campaign by beating Mackenzie McDonald in four sets in the first round on Monday. On Thursday, he defeated another American in Wolf, but this time needed just three sets to advance to the next round.
Bublik and Wolf traded an early break in the first set, before a second break late in the set helped the Kazakh take a 1-0 lead. In the second, neither player got broken as Bublik took the set in the tiebreak.
Leading two sets to love, Bublik took full control of the match in the final set and bagelled his opponent for a 6-3, 7-6 (7-5), 6-0 victory.
This win extended his current win streak to 7-0. He had come into the tournament as the champion at Halle. It was just his second ATP title that he achieved by beating Andrey Rublev in the final.
Currently sitting on a career-high ranking, Bublik will look to keep his streak going in the third round.

Marterer Marches On
Maximilian Marterer reached the third round at Wimbledon for the first time in his career as the qualifier knocked out Michael Mmoh in straight sets on Thursday.
Marterer was not broken in the match as he converted all four of the break points that he faced in the match, while he converted 2 of 6 to beat the American, world no. 119, 7-5, 7-6 (7-5), 6-4.
Ranked no. 170 in the world, Marterer had beaten Borna Gojo 7-5, 6-7 (8-10), 6-3, 6-4 in the opening round.
He had also had a tough run in the qualifiers. After scoring a come-from-behind win over Luciano Darderi in the first qualifying round, he eased past Gauthier Onclin in straight sets in the second qualifier before beating Fábián Marozsán in five sets in the final qualifying round.
Marterer is making his third appearance at Wimbledon, while he reached the fourth round at the French Open in 2018 and also the third round at the Australian Open in the same year, this is his first time in the round of 32 at SW19. Can he keep his stunning run going in the third round?
