Liam Broady's bright Wimbledon run ended by ruthless Alex de Minaur (The Guardian)

Alex De Minaur saw off Liam Broady in straight sets 6-3, 6-4, 7-5 and ended his brilliant run in the third round at Wimbledon.

“It’s probably been more of a negative experience [in the past] because I’ve not felt like I’ve been able to express myself,” he said. Certainly he produced his best tennis in the third set, as he dug deeper, challenged more savvily and conjured a couple of break points. There were some successful moments when he was able to draw De Minaur into the net and, facing two break points in the third game of the second set, he summoned up three aces to hold his serve. Arguably his best chance of levelling the field came towards the end of the second set, when he was the beneficiary of a seemingly unreachable net cord at 0-30 up. “I probably end up getting into the rhythm of it once I was a break down in the third. You suspect that Liam Broady has carved his place in SW19’s heart with his performance against Alex de Minaur. The scorecard may say that the Australian took only three sets to beat him, but it felt like a lot more.

De Minaur claimed back-to-back wins over British players as he denied Broady a place in the last 16.

For the first time, errors creeped into De Minaur’s game on the forehand side and Broady nodded as the home crowd recognised his fight to extend the contest. The graft of De Minaur took away Broady’s left-handed forehand and left the 28-year-old with just the single winner in the opener. It earned him applause and recognition from the Court One crowd and afterwards the Briton had a glimpse of a chance on 0-30. De Minaur was always going to be a tough task for Broady. The 19th seed dug deep to outlast Jack Draper in an absorbing late-night battle on Court No 1 on Thursday and he returned to face another left-handed British opponent here. Backed by a deceptively powerful and overwhelmingly efficient serve, De Minaur put away a spirited late rally from Broady to get over the line in two hours and 24 minutes. The 23-year-old was a tenacious and irritating pest to the Broady game throughout, his performance engaging and full of its roadrunner-like qualities.
