Julia Grabher lost 4:6,4:6 in the continuation of the game against the American Danielle Collins, which was postponed on Monday due to darkness and was not continued on Tuesday due to rain. Sebastian Ofner lost to the Czech Jiri Lehecka 4:6, 4:6, 4:6.
The rain meant that Wednesday’s matches on the outside courts started later and had to be interrupted several times.
For Grabher and Collins it was back to the dressing rooms after five games, when the Australian Open finalist already had a break advantage in 2022. The 29-year-old took Austria’s number one from their first service game, and at 1: 2 Grabher missed two chances for the rebreak. Then it was time to serve. The total playing time over three days was 1:23 hours. At this event, Grabher also competes in a doubles tournament with the Italian Sara Errani.
Beckham with mom
Unaffected by the weather because of the roof, the game began on the two main pitches. English soccer legend David Beckham and his mother were spotted among the spectators on Center Court.
The opening match on Court 18 was in turn interrupted by climate activists, the representatives of the group “Just Stop Oil” distributed orange tinsel and parts of a Wimbledon puzzle on the court. One of the activists then sat on the court and left but lead away without resistance.
