Nick Kyrgios, Alex de Minaur and Jason Kubler have all made it through to the last 16 in the men’s draw while Ajla Tomljanovic advanced in the women’s tournament.

OVERNIGHT SUCCESS A LIFTIME IN THE MAKING FOR AUSSIE BATTLER
If there is one Australian tennis player with a legitimate reason to curse his rotten luck, it’s Jason Kubler.
An overnight success that has been a lifetime in the making because of all the injuries he’s suffered, Kubler has made it through to the fourth round of Wimbledon after fighting back to beat American Jack Sock 6-2 4-6 5-7 7-6 6-3.
It’s a remarkable comeback by one of the unluckiest players in the game, but don’t hold your breath waiting to hear him moan about what could have been, because he’s not about to start blaming the world for his misfortune.
“Obviously it sucks that I have had that many surgeries but I have never looked at it like ‘because of that I wasn’t able to do any of this,‘ he said.
“It was just sort of, that’s how it is. That’s how it happened for me.
“Obviously this is a great moment for me and hopefully I can keep doing similar things.
“But I definitely don’t look back and feel sour about what’s happened. Maybe if I had handled situations differently when I was younger, maybe this could have come earlier.
“I don’t blame my knee necessarily for - what would be the right word? - for keeping it this late. I think there were definitely other things I could have done better.”
One of the most exciting young talents has produced, Kubler was a junior world number one with the world at his feet, when his body fell to pieces.
By his own count, he’s had six operations on his knee - five on the left and one on the right - and spent more time watching tennis than playing it.
But he’s never lost faith nor given up, though he was tempted a few years ago when he only had 14 cents left in his bank account.
He wanted to rediscover the fun in tennis but also needed some cash, so he began some coaching, mostly kids whose parents would pay him to practice with their children.
He was enjoying too but then got a call to play the 2018 Australian Open, his first grand slam appearance in eight years, so gave it another go.
“There’s been times where I’ve thought maybe I look into something else,” he said.
“But back then I made a promise to myself when I had my last knee surgery, I really just wanted to enjoy what I’m doing.
“Obviously it’s been an up-and-down sort of career for me.
“But especially since that last surgery, I can definitely look back and go, I’ve definitely enjoyed the tennis.
“Maybe not like how I’ve played it at certain times, but in terms of travelling with some of my best friends, always rocking up to tournaments and being able to hang out with all the Australians, I’ve really enjoyed it.
“Obviously the injuries suck, but I wouldn’t really change what I’ve done.”
By reaching the fourth round, the 29-year-old Kubler has guaranteed himself a payday of at least $337,000 - almost half as much as he has made in his entire career.
His next opponent is American Taylor Fritz, the 11th seed, with a place in the quarter-finals up for grabs.
PROOF NICE GUYS DON’T FINISH LAST
Lovestruck Aussie tennis ace Alex de Minaur is living proof that nice guys don’t always finish last.
De Minaur’s devotion to his English sweetheart and rising tennis star Katie Boulter has already made him an instant hit with the Wimbledon crowds but it’s his flawless on court performances that are now starting to command the most attention.
The only seeded Australian at Wimbledon this year, the world No.27 made it through the fourth round at the All England club on Saturday with a clinical 6-3 6-4 7-5 win over local wildcard Liam Broady.
“This has always been a goal of mine for a while now, to try to make the second week of slams,” he said.
“I feel like I’ve shown great level throughout the year, but when it came to slams, I kind of haven’t shown my best tennis or haven’t been able to crack through that kind of first week of slams.”
De Minaur is starting to make a regular impact in the majors now.
He made the quarter-finals at the US Open in 2021 and the last 16 at the Australian Open in January.
This is already his best result at Wimbledon and if he continues his form, there’s no reason he can’t keep progressing.
“Just being able to get through week one, that’s the biggest thing. It doesn’t have to be pretty, doesn’t have to be flawless,” he said.
“Once you’re in a second week of a slam, you’re getting closer to the goal and you’re putting yourself in positions where all the stress is out.
“You can go out there and play and stay loose and who knows what can happen.”
De Minaur’s next opponent is Cristian Garin of Chile, ranked 433rd in the world,
They have played each other three times before, including two weeks ago in a Wimbledon warm-up event, with the Aussie winning each time in straight sets.
Lightly framed, de Minaur is regarded as one of the fastest players on court and uses his electrifying speed to chase everything down. It’s a skill that should serve him well in the second week when fitness plays a bigger part.
“God gave me the physique I’ve got. I’m probably not the biggest guy or strongest guy. I had to work different areas of my game to be competitive,” he said.
“Footwork and speed and trying to get out of different positions around the court was always something I’ve worked really hard on.
“I probably reckon I’m what you would call tennis fast. I’m probably good around the corners. Good at getting out of tough positions. Good at reading the play. I don’t know about the 100-metre sprint.
“I back myself in fitness. I have put in a lot of work in that, whether it’s speed or just, you know, long-distance running. I have done a lot of that. So I back myself when it comes to fitness in tennis matches.”
TOMLJANOVIC’S BIGGEST ROUND 4 CHALLENGE
The father of Aussie tennis star Ajla Tomljanovic has been warned he’ll be the one in the doghouse if he doesn’t find his daughter some accommodation for as long as she keeps going at Wimbledon.
Australia’s new number one after Ash Barty retired, Tomljanovic is through to the last 16 at Wimbledon after a stunning upset over last year’s French Open champion Barbora Krejcikova.
And she has a great shot at going even further because her next opponent, unseeded Frenchwoman Alize Cornet, ended world No. 1 Iga Swiatek’s 37-match winning streak.
But Tomljanovic does have another problem to sort out because she doesn’t have anywhere to stay next week because her father Ratko - who books her accommodation - didn’t think she would get this far.
“My dad booked my house until (last) Friday,” she said.
“I was like ‘so you thought I’d lose in the second round? You should have at least booked it until Sunday.
“The problem was it’s so hard to find something. London is packed, and I didn’t want to stay an hour away.
“He didn’t take it well. I gave him a lot of crap yesterday.”
Forced to move on the eve of her third round match, Tomljanovic thought that was the end of her housing problems only to be told by her doting dad that he’d made another short term booking in the expectation she would be playing Swiatek next.
So, if Tomljanovic beats Cornet on Monday, she could be on the move again.
“I said ‘you’re kidding me’ but he wasn’t kidding so I’ve got a room until Tuesday but not after that,” she said.
“He said something to me like ‘hey Ajla, hungry rats swim the fastest.’ Whatever that means, it’s like some old fatherly saying.
“I said ‘well, I’m not a rat and I’m not hungry. I just want my house from the beginning till the end, or maybe you should just believe in me a little more.
“But he’s saved me a lot of money over the years by taking care of my flights and my bookings.
“So I’m not going to give him too much trouble because he’s been a great dad that way but he stitched it up a little bit this week.”
Even Tomljanovic herself has been surprised by her progress this week.
She made the quarter-finals at Wimbledon last year but admitted she wasn’t sure she could do it again this time.
“I just knew that I could produce good tennis, but actually doing it feels really nice. It just kind of confirms that maybe I do belong here,” he said.
“I’m the type of person that I constantly have to prove myself to myself. I have realised that’s a little unfair sometimes, because I should be like my own biggest supporter.
“I feel like I haven’t given myself sometimes the credit I deserve.
“I am mad at myself sometimes that it takes a little bit longer for me to be like, ‘Okay, I can do this’ even though I’m not seeded, I can still make a run.”
AUSSIE STAR’S SHOCK BOILOVER IN SENSATIONAL COMEBACK
Australia’s new number one Ajla Tomljanovic has produced a sensational fight back to reach the fourth round at Wimbledon for the second year in a row.
A quarter-finalist last year, Tomljanovic clawed her way back from the brink of defeat to upset 2021 French Open champion Barbora Krejcikova of the Czech Republic.
The only Australian woman to win a singles match at the All England club this year, Tomljanovic looked dead and buried after a nervous start before recovering to triumph 2-6 6-4 6-4 in a two-hour slugfest on a windy outside court.
Tomljanovic struggled with her serve in the opening set, losing three games off her own racquet to surrender the opening set in half an hour.
But she found her rhythm in the second then just got better as the match went on and the pressure intensified.
After an early trade of breaks, Tomljanovic squared the match at one set all with a ferocious backhand winner after she had just lost a rally with a comical air swing.
Ranked 44th in the world, Tomljanovic is one of the few players that saves their best for the grass and is now through to the last 16 in the women’s singles.
More than anything, her career-best showing in 2021 has instilled a new sense of self-belief in her, which she showed in the deciding set against her higher ranked opponent, seeded 13th.
She broke Krejcikova’s serve in the sixth game to lead 4-2, then held her two remaining service games to seal a memorable victory, signing off after a 17-shot rally.
To make the quarter-finals again this year, Tomljanovic may have to beat Iga Swiatek in the fourth round - if the new world No. 1 wins her third round clash against unseeded Frenchwoman Alize Cornet.
Without Barty around to challenge her, Swiatek hasn’t lost a single match since the Aussie shocked the tennis world by retiring at age 25.
The 21-year-old Pole is on a 37-match winning streak but in her two previous appearances at Wimbledon she hasn’t made it past the fourth round.
Over her career, Tomljanovic has won just five of 29 matches against players ranked in the top 10 in the world but has never beaten a world No. 1 but on her current form, she could easily change that.
FORMER ‘NEXT RAFA’ WINS LARGEST EVER PAYDAY
Aussie battler Jason Kubler has hit the jackpot after defying the odds by reaching the third round at Wimbledon.
A prodigious talent who was once tipped to be the next Rafa Nadal before injuries derailed his career - Kubler has guaranteed himself a massive payday after two minutes of perfect tennis at the All England club.
Not so long ago, he had just 14 cents in his bank account but by reaching the last 32 at Wimbledon he’s assured of at least $213,000.
“It’s a hell of a lot more than I have gotten at a tournament before,” he said.
The 29-year-old was just one game away from beating Austria’s Dennis Novak on Thursday afternoon when rain forced their match to be postponed until Friday morning.
That left Kubler with an anxious overnight wait but when they finally got back on the courts, he finished the job off in style - winning all four points to serve out the match and win 6-3 6-4 6-4.
“That’s the first time I have really had to come back out in a match where the score is so close to it being finished,” he said.
“It was kind of a weird feeling when the match finished because you have so much energy to get ready for possibly another two more sets after that one.
“But to finish in four points was a good feeling, don’t get me wrong, but it was a weird feeling when I finished.”
A former junior world number one whose career has been derailed by a succession of painful injuries - including five knee operations - his comeback to the top level is inspiring.
Ranked 99th in the world, he wasn’t originally in the main draw for Wimbledon so had to come through the qualifying tournament - winning three matches in a row - and $10,000.
He has now won both his matches in straight sets to reach the third round of a grand slam for the first time in his life but isn’t dwelling on what could have been’.
“I’m sort of the person that doesn’t think too much about the past,” he said.
“Maybe I could have got caught up with the things that have happened or maybe the opportunities I may have had.
“I’m sort of just thinking about now. Obviously it’s a great moment, but it’s almost like I know after this tournament, regardless how I go, there is still a lot of work to do.”
His prizemoney for getting through to the last 32 represents more than a quarter of his lifetime earnings so far - and that could just be the start.
If he wins his next match - against American qualifier Jack Sock - he’ll pocket $337,000 and if was to win the title, he’d earn a staggering $3.5 million - but that’s not even come into his head.
“Obviously, third round is crazy,” he said.
“If you told me two months ago this was going to happen, I probably wouldn’t have believed you. It’s cool.
“Obviously I’m the underdog but we’re both playing on grass and anything can happen.”
AUSSIE BATTLER’S TWO-MINUTE BLITZ PULLS IN $213K
Australian tennis battler Jason Kubler — who was once tipped to be the next Rafa Nadal before injuries derailed his career — has sealed his place in the third round at Wimbledon after two minutes of perfect tennis.
The 29-year-old Kubler was just one game away from beating Austria’s Dennis Novak on Thursday when rain forced their match to be postponed until Friday morning.
That left Kubler with an anxious overnight wait but when they finally got back on the courts, finished the job in style — winning all four points on serve to win 6-3 6-4 6-4.
A former junior world No. 1 whose career has been derailed by a succession of painful injuries — including five knee operations — his comeback to the top level is inspiring.
Ranked 99th in the world, he wasn’t originally in the main draw for Wimbledon so had to come through the qualifying tournament — winning three matches in a row.
He has won both his matches in straight sets to reach the third round of a grand slam for the first time.
By getting through to the last 32 of the men’s singles, Kubler is assured of collecting at least $213,000 — more than a quarter of his lifetime earnings.
His next opponent — American Jack Sock — is also a qualifier.
VULGAR KYRGIOS STILL UP TO HIS SILLY ANTICS
Even when he’s trying to be on his best behaviour, Nick Kyrgios just can’t stop himself from picking fights.
Whether it’s umpires, female line judges, paying spectators or the working media — the short-fused Australian always comes out swinging.
He was at it again at Wimbledon on Thursday after bragging to everyone about what a talented player he is when he cuts out the cheap, trashy antics he’s renowned for and just focuses his energy on playing the best tennis he can.
He’s partly right and demonstrated that with a masterful performance to beat the dangerous Serb Filip Krajinovic in straight sets (see below) and advance to the third round, earning the immediate plaudits of his opponent, the crowd and even his harshest critics.
"I just wanted to remind everyone that I'm pretty good"
— Wimbledon (@Wimbledon) June 30, 2022
See you in the third round, @NickKyrgios ​👊​#Wimbledonpic.twitter.com/sTj5Y5NsLL
But it didn’t last long. Within an hour of shaking hands at the net, he reverted back to his usual, combative self, lashing out at the media - both established and social - for all the criticism he received over his revolting conduct in his previous match.
In an extraordinary rant aimed at anyone who disapproves of his boorish behaviour, Kyrgios said he has no regrets about anything he did, including spitting at spectators, because - in his own words ‘ he believes he’s “one of the most important people in the sport.”
“I just wanted to prove to people that I’m really good,” he said. “I feel like I just don’t have the respect sometimes.
“I didn’t want to remind people that I’m good; I know that I’m good. I just feel like people just don’t give me the respect sometimes because of other things that I do.”
Those “other things” were all on public display in his first round match against lowly ranked British qualifier Paul Jubb.
In one of the most petulant displays ever seen at the All England club, Kyrgios spat at a spectator, abused a match official, was warned for smashing a ball out of the stadium, then turned up at his press conference an hour later, eating a sushi meal while being asked questions about his actions.
“I just really wanted to go out there today and just remind everyone that I’m able to play some really good tennis without any distractions,” he said.
“It’s just amazing how quick the media swings.
“But there was just nothing the media possibly could tell me I did wrong today. I just know that you can’t possibly ask me anything and stir anything up. And I love it because then you can’t write anything. What are you going to say? Nothing today. Dumbfounded all of you.”
Ranked 40th in the world, and without a grand slam singles title to his name, Kyrgios made headlines all over the world for his vulgar spit at the home of tennis - actions which saw him slapped with a $US10,000 fine - the biggest penalty any player received so far - after deeming his actions to be “unsportsmanlike”.
But when asked by The Australian’s Jacqueline Magnay whether he regretted his actions, he was unrepentant, implying that he can do whatever he wants.
“Why would you be asking me a question about two days ago? Is it because you have no story for today?” he growled.
“I just feel like I’m comfortable in my own skin. Some people love to just tear me down. It’s just not possible anymore.
“I just want to give people who watch this press conference or watch my tennis to just believe in yourself, be yourself, don’t be someone else up here either. Don’t just say what you’ve been told to say.
“I couldn’t care less if there is an investigation about me doing that, to be brutally honest with you. I know what I bring to the sport. One of the most important people in the sport. Do you want to speak about that? Nothing to investigate there because it’s just factual.”
ONE AUSSIE WINNING OVER WIMBLEDON CROWD
Australia’s highest ranked tennis player Alex de Minaur is through to the third round at Wimbledon after winning the heart of one of Britain’s brightest young prospects then breaking the heart of another.
Ranked 27th in the world and the only Australian seeded at Wimbledon, de Minaur booked his place in the last 32 with a 5-7 7-6 6-2 6-3 win over local contender Jack Draper in a three-hour slugfest that was interrupted by a rain delay.
While Kyrgios has been hogging the spotlight for his petulant on-court antics, de Minaur has been winning over the English with his old fashioned good manners - and also because he is dating rising British tennis star Katie Boulter, who also won her second round match on Thursday.
In an on-court interview immediately after his victory over Draper, de Minaur stopped to pay tribute to his sweetheart, who was watching from the stands.
“Before we talk about my match, can we just talk about Katie Boulter because she had a pretty good win herself,” de Minaur asked the crowd.
“I’m extremely stoked to get this win. It was a hell of a battle out there and Jack is a hell of a competitor and he has a very good future ahead of him.”
De Minaur got off to a rough start against Draper, losing the first set and struggling to hold his serve before things came together in the tie-breaker then he ran away with it after that.
“It didn’t look good at times but I stayed positive and managed to keep it together and play some good tennis for three hours and get the win,” he said.
“For me, to play on these courts, it’s an honour.”
De Minaur has been progressing through the draw with a minimum of fuss and has a good chance of going further and his next opponent is another Brit, wildcard Liam Broady.
De Minaur’s win also capped a good day at Wimbledon for the Aussies.
Kyrgios beat Krajinovic while Ajla Tomljanovic defeated American Catherine Harrison 6-2 6-2 to continue her run.
Qualifier Jason Kubler was also on the verge of advancing to the third round, about to serve for a straight sets victory, when the rain came, delaying the completion of his match until Friday.
MATCH REPORT: KYRGIOS GETS IT RIGHT ON COURT
Another crazy thing happened at Kyrgios’ second round match at Wimbledon overnight.
He actually behaved himself and focused all his attention on playing great tennis.
“I just wanted to remind everyone I’m pretty good,” he said.
The short-fused Aussie did have a row with the chair umpire in the first set over a disputed line challenge, then berated a spectator for coughing in the second, but that was mild by his usual standards.
Kyrgios has always been a Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde character but in this match, he was a model of politeness.
And his impeccable behaviour was mirrored by the way he played as steamrolled Serbia’s Filip Krajinovic 6-2 6-3 6-1 in less than 90 minutes.
There was no repeat of his vulgar antics that marred his opening round win over British Paul Jobb. He didn’t spit at any fans who supported his opponent, he didn’t abuse the match officials, and he didn’t smash any balls out of the stadium in anger.
It was just a masterclass display at complete odds with his tempestuous, mistake-filled first round two days earlier.
“I had some nerves … so getting over the line in that first round was massive,” Kyrgios said.
“I’ve been playing some good tennis coming in but I didn’t play near my best.
“I’ve been working hard preparing for this tournament, it’s been circled on my calendar for a long time.
“It’s my best chance to win a grand slam of all the four.
“I’m just taking it match by match but today I couldn’t have played better.”
If he can continue to keep his cool in his remaining matches — but the chances of that happening are remote — there’s no reason why he can’t go deep in the tournament.
As he showed in his demolition job on Krajinovic — who is ranked 31st in the world and seeded 26th in the men’s singles this year — Kyrgios has a serious game.
His serve is among the best in the professional game — as he thumped aces 24 past his hapless Serbian opponent — and his bag of tricks is dazzling.
His underarm serves get the most attention but he’s also a master of drop shots, chips and passes, both off his forehand and his backhand, as he racked up 50 winners.
That unpredictably — both with his shot making and on-court behaviour — makes him one of the players everyone wanted to avoid because he gets in their heads too.
Krajinovic’s fate was sealed the moment he won the coin toss and bizarrely let Kyrgios serve first.
It was dumb mistake and the Aussie easily held serve then broke Krajinovic straight away then sealed the first set with a second break, courtesy of a double fault.
There was no coming back from that, and Kyrgios ran away with the next two sets without burning up any more energy, which will be crucial if he ever wants to fulfil his real potential.
LONE AUSSIE’S WIMBLEDON LOVE AFFAIR BLOSSOMS
Australia’s new No. 1 Ajla Tomljanovic has produced another stunning performance to reach the third round at Wimbledon.
Following her first round upset over 18th seed Jil Teichmann, Tomljanovic has crushed American qualifier Catherine Harrison 6-2 6-2.
With Ash Barty retired and not defending her title at the All England club, Tomljanovic has been left alone to fly the Australian flag in the women’s singles.
“I’m not really aware of who’s in the draw just because I’m very kind of focused on myself and I don’t like looking at the draw,” she said.
“But not having Ash here, I do know that just because she was such a big presence in the Aussie tennis world, so it does feel like there’s a little bit more responsibility but at the same time I’m just focusing on myself.”
Tomljanovic, ranked 44th in the world, made the quarter-finals at Wimbledon last year so is one of the few players that saves their best for the grass.
More than anything, her strong showing in 2021 gave her a lot of self-belief that she is drawing on this year.
“It’s just the familiarity of Wimbledon and playing on the grass,” she said.
“Without thinking about it, it’s kind of in my mind a little bit. So it definitely helps.
“It’s just the belief, really, which always kind of lacked in my game at this stage, especially in the slams and playing against higher ranked opponents from the get go.
“It’s not a lot of things, but it’s a big one, especially for my game, I always kind of felt like I’d put myself in position to beat the top girls but a lot of times I didn’t really get over the line.
“Last year, every match was tough and I got over the line in the tough moments so it’s just building on that experience.”
To make the quarter-finals again this year, Tomljanovic may have to beat new world No. 1 Iga Swiatek in the fourth round — if they both get that far.
Without Barty around to challenge her, Swiatek hasn’t lost a single match since the Aussie shocked the tennis world by retiring at age 25.
The 21-year-old Pole is on a 36-match winning streak but in her two previous appearances at Wimbledon she hasn’t made it past the fourth round.
Over her career, Tomljanovic has won five of her 29 matches against players ranked in the top 10 in the world and said she often has a mental block when she comes up against higher ranked opponents.
“My mind is quite dumb sometimes where I find negative more than the positive in any situation,” she said.
“So I try to not think too much about it, but at the same time, I’m human so when I’m playing someone higher ranked, it comes naturally that I’m the underdog.
“I’m trying to learn to stay calm in situations where I’m playing someone higher ranked and I still believe I can win even if I get down.”
