Ofner gets the break
Follow our reactions from day four at SW19 with Sinner, Djokovic, Andreeva and Świątek into the third round Getty Images Paul 6-1, 5-7, 2-3* Ofner And just like that, Sebastian Ofner gets the break. That might be the momentum change he needed to take control of this match. FINAL: Zakharova 7-5, 5-7, 7-6 (10) Yastremska After dropping the first set, Dayana Yastremska came back to defeat Anastasia Zakharova in a grueling match to advance to the third round. Getty Images Paul 6-1, 5-7, *2-2 Ofner This match looks like it's settling in to a long one, depending on the health of both players: Tommy Paul's ankle vs. Sebastian Ofner's wrist. They both looked like they could have defaulted at the time of their issues, but we're now tied early in the third set. Getty Images Świątek 5-7, 6-2, *4-0 McNally BANG. A double break for Iga Świątek and despite huge, repeated efforts on the defensive from Caty McNally, it's just not cutting it right now. Two more games between Świątek and the third round, where Danielle Collins awaits… Świątek 5-7, 6-2, 3-0* McNally This is much better from Świątek, and it feels like she might have ground down Caty McNally here. For the third time in this match, Świątek breaks McNally in the second game of a set — but this time, you wonder if it might be decisive. Paul 6-1, 5-7, *0-0 Ofner Ofner finished off the second set with his third straight game one, and we're even at a set each. Paul looked a little unsure after he came back from the injury and the retaping of his foot. He'll need to bounce back quickly now. Draper 4-6, 0-2* Čilić This is getting dangerous for No. 4 Draper. Čilić breaks his serve again after an unforced error. You can see Čilić's confidence continue to build. Getty Images Everyone's a bit in shock here on No. 1 Court. Marin Čilić has just pinched the first set 6-4 against the world No. 4 and great home hope, Jack Draper. Deja Vu from last year when Draper was beaten on this court at the same stage in straight sets by Cameron Norrie. A big problem for Draper is that Čilić's best shot is his backhand, which is neutralising Draper's favored serve on the ad side that swings away over to that wing for a right-hander. Draper tried it down set point, and Čilić responded with a clean backhand winner. Čilić is ranked down at No. 83 following a lengthy absence last year after knee surgery but he's a former U.S. Open champion and a finalist here, and this is a proper contest. Paul 6-1, 5-6* Ofner Tommy Paul looked like he was moving fine after the return from injury, but Sebastian Ofner has won the past two games and has a chance to serve for the second set. Draper 4-6, 0-0* Čilić Big-time shot from Čilić, lacing a backhand down the line to win the game and the set. How will the No. 4 seeded Draper respond in the second set? Paul 6-1, *4-4 Ofner Tommy Paul had his left foot retaped, and he's back out on the court after a nine-minute break. His movement is such a big part of his game, so we'll see how hampered he is. Draper 4-4* Čilić Draper was in danger of being broken, which would've drastically shifted the momentum of the first set. Instead, he rallies from triple game point to even the set at four games apiece. Getty Images Świątek 5-7, 6-2, *0-0 McNally And there it is. Iga Świątek breaks Caty McNally again, and that not only wins the second set but also gives her the opening service game of the decider. McNally takes a toilet break after losing her lead on Centre Court. Paul 6-1, *4-4 Ofner Tommy Paul is injured and getting medical treatment after suffering a foot injury on an overhead. Looks like a tough break for the American who had just broken back to get even in the second set. Getty Images Świątek 5-7, 5-2* McNally It's been a much better set from Iga Świątek, who has ironed out the errors and taken charge of Caty McNally. Still up a solitary break, but now Świątek is just a game away from leveling the match. McNally now serving to stay in the second set. FINAL: Starodubtseva 2-6, 1-6 Samsonova Strong showing by Liudmila Samsonova, dispatching of Yuliia Starodubtseva in straight sets to advance to the third round. FINAL: Krejčíková 6-2, 3-6, 6-2 Dolehide Impressive shot by Krejčíková to seal the set and the match. She paints a firm backhand just inside the backline and all Dolehide could do is watch. While the final set score appears lopsided, this was a highly competitive match with Krejčíková's break a few games back serving as the difference. Getty Images Krejčíková 6-2, 3-6, *4-2 Dolehide If there was ever a time to break serve, that was it. A few unforced errors by Dolehide just swung this match in the latter stages. Can Krejčíková see this one out? Paul 6-1, *0-2 Ofner Sebastian Ofner turned the tables on Tommy Paul a bit to start the second set. Ofner broke Paul to start the set and held his first service game. He already has won more games in this second set than the first set after getting some medical treatment on his wrist between sets.
