The first was at Wimbledon in 2019.\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u201cI still believe I have that tennis in me and I still think I can do good things inside the top 100. But believing it and having it happen is very different.

Mensik, 19, impressed with 20 aces, defeating Cameron Norrie, a former finalist, with a score of 7-6 (6), 1-6, 6-1.\n\nIn the next round, Mensik will face Roberto Bautista Agut of Spain, who achieved a comeback in three sets against Nuno Borges of Portugal. Meanwhile, Rune will play against Mackenzie McDonald of the United States, who eliminated Gael Monfils of France with a score of 6-4, 6-4.\n\nThe top two seeds in the tournament are Carlos Alcaraz, Wimbledon and Roland Garros champion, and Taylor Fritz, who won the Stuttgart tournament on Sunday, earning his fourth grass-court title.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dan Evans Shocks at Queen&#8217;s Club: Defeats Top 20 In a remarkable performance at the Queen&#8217;s Club tournament, British tennis player Dan Evans, who received a special invitation, achieved a surprising victory over the world number 13, Frances Tiafoe, with a score of 7-5, 6-2.
