Frenchman Adrian Mannarino, currently ranked #111, defeated Spanish player, Pablo Andujar, currently ranked #52 in the world, 61 62 63. He goes straight to the third round as his second round opponent American John Isner, currently ranked #21 in the world, withdrew due to injury. Adrian was ranked as high as #49 before and this is the farthest round yet that he has reached in Wimbledon. He will next meet German Dustin Brown, ranked #189, in the third round. He has a very good chance of making it into the fourth round here for the first time in his career.
