The Spanish Jaume Munar defeat the British Billy Harris invited by the organization, 6-4, 6-4, 3-6 and 6-3, and kept his streak at Wimbledon, where he won at least one match in the last three years.
Munar, who has not achieved victories on grass this year after falling in the first round in Mallorca, surprised Harris, a tennis player with a lower ranking but having a good tour on grass.
The Briton reached the semi-finals at Surbiton and Nottingham Challengers, the quarter-finals at Queen’s and the semi-finals at Eastbourne. From being number 200 in the world to 116 and aiming to do well at Wimbledon.
The Spaniard has made a habit of springing surprises in recent years in London. Last year he eliminated American John Isner, who was a semifinalist at the All England Club in 2018.
Munar defended the second round last year, and he did so in time before downpours forced a halt to matches on Wimbledon’s outdoor courts.
At the second snore, the Spaniard will face the winner of the match between James Duckworth and Alex de Minaur, ninth seed. The match was suspended due to rain with De Minaur leading by two sets.
