The 23-year-old American, ranked 57th in the world, had prepared well for Wimbledon this year. Yet to be broken in the tournament, Tiafoe saved seven break points against Tsitsipas and didn’t face any against Pospisil.

Tiafoe continued his dominant form on Wednesday as he knocked out Canada’s Vasek Pospisil 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 in the second round. Meeting Khachanov in the third round will be American Fraces Tiafoe, who had stunned French Open runner-up Stefanos Tsitsipas in the first round on Monday. The Russian won the two hour and 50 minutes battle against the American qualifier 3-6, 6-3, 6-4, 7-6 (7-3). Khachanov had fought back from a set down to win his opening round match against America’s Mackenzie McDonald. Not broken once in the entire match, Khachanov converted five of nine break points to beat the World No. The one-hour-and-48-minute contest saw Khachanov hit 41 winners and make 23 unforced errors compared to his opponent’s 24 winners and 32 unforced errors. The 25-year-old Khachanov defeated Belarus’ Egor Gerasimov 6-1, 7-6 (7-3), 6-3 in the second round on Wednesday. The Russian has however reached the fourth round just once in 2018, falling in the Round of 32 in 20. 29 Karen Khachanov has never gone out of Wimbledon in the second round and he continued the pattern this year reaching the Round of 32 for the fourth time in four appearances. Tiafoe had taken the first two sets in that match before the Russian made a remarkable recovery to win in five. Their only previous meeting was also a third-round meeting at Wimbledon in 2018, which Khachanov won in five.
