Menšík and Krejčíková out of Wimbledon, Nosková remains only Czech in singles

Jakub Menšík’s Wimbledon run ended in the third round after a straight-sets defeat to Italy’s Flavio Cobolli, 2:6, 4:6, 2:6. The 19-year-old Czech, seeded 15th, struggled in the rain-interrupted match, converting none of his single break point chances, while Cobolli broke his serve five times. Despite the loss, it marked Menšík’s best Grand Slam performance to date. Earlier, he had defeated Marcos Giron and Hugo Gaston.

Barbora Krejčíková also exited in the third round, losing 6:2, 3:6, 4:6 to American Emma Navarro. The 29-year-old defending champion, seeded 17th, played through visible physical discomfort and required a medical timeout in the deciding set. She broke down in tears near the end of the match. The loss ended her nine-match winning streak at Wimbledon. Linda Nosková is now the only Czech player left in the singles draw.
