- Australian loses in straight sets to Brandon Nakashima
- Fellow Sydneysider outgunned by reigning champion
Wimbledon hope Jordan Thompson has bowed out tamely but Australian colleague Aleksandar Vukic had much to be proud of in defeat to brilliant champion Carlos Alcaraz.
Recent Queen’s Club star Thompson, Australia’s second-best hope of men’s singles success at Wimbledon, could not cope with the excellence of American Brandon Nakashima, succumbing in three one-sided sets 6-3 6-2 6-2 on a rain-hit Wednesday.
