Not many players can boast victories over Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner, but British rookie Jacob Fearnley has notched up that impressive double and now looks for a third in the shape of Novak Djokovic at Wimbledon.
Britain's Billy Harris hits a return to Britain's Jacob Fearnley during their men's singles round of 32 tennis match at the Rothesay Eastbourne International tennis tournament in Eastbourne, southern England, on June 24, 2024.LONDON –
"Obviously the strides they've taken in their games have been a lot more than myself. The way they're playing, it's unbelievable.Fearnley won his first Grand Slam match on debut on Tuesday; it was also his first win of any kind on the main tour. "That was really cool. He's a super nice guy. Obviously a really, really special player. I learned a lot of things from those brief practice sessions," he said.
Djokovic eased to a 6-1, 6-2, 6-2 victory in a shade under two hours on Centre Court against his 123rd-ranked rival.Djokovic, chasing a record 25th Grand Slam title, wore a grey support on his right knee after undergoing surgery on a torn meniscus, which had forced him to withdraw from the French Open after the fourth round last month.
"Of course, we did check in the days prior if we have a permission. We're trying to find a white one, trust me," he explained.Ramon Aboitiz Foundation Inc.
