Tan’s dream run goes on, Swiatek’s halted

LONDON, July 2

France’s Harmony Tan continued her stellar Wimbledon debut today to book her maiden fourth-round spot at a Grand Slam, crushing Briton Katie Boulter 6-1 6-1 in just 51 minutes.

The 24-year-old Tan proved that her thrilling win over seven-time Wimbledon champion Serena Williams in the opening round was no fluke and she has now won three straight Tour-level matches for the first time in her career. “No I don’t believe it yet — if I sleep a little bit, tomorrow maybe I will,” she said. Tan will next meet Amanda Anisimova, who beat Coco Gauff 6-7(4) 6-2 6-1 in an all-American showdown. — Reuters
