Highlights from Day Three of the Wimbledon Tennis Championships

The third day of the Wimbledon tennis championships in London saw notable performances, beginning with Cameron Norrie making history as the first British man to reach the third round. He staged a commendable comeback to overcome American 12th seed Frances Tiafoe with scores of 4-6, 6-4, 6-3, and 7-5.

Meanwhile, world number one Aryna Sabalenka faced a challenging matchup against former Wimbledon quarter-finalist Marie Bouzkova. After a hard-fought first set, Sabalenka secured her place in the third round with a 7-6(4), 6-4 victory.

Among other results, Australian Open champion Madison Keys showcased her power by dominating Serbian Olga Danilovic, winning 6-4, 6-2 in just 75 minutes. Briton Sonay Kartal also impressed with a strong performance, defeating Bulgarian Viktoriya Tomova 6-2, 6-2, and expressing satisfaction with her play.

However, the day was marred by rain, causing a delay of over one-and-a-half hours before players could take to the court at the All England Club. As a result, the start of matches was postponed by 45 minutes, with outside courts set to resume play at least by 1115 GMT. This day presented a stark contrast in conditions from the first two scorching hot days of the tournament, as temperatures hovered around 19 degrees Celsius with intermittent showers expected throughout.
