Straight Sets Win Over Duckworth
Australian ninth seed Alex de Minaur has secured his place in the third round of Wimbledon 2024 following a straight sets victory over James Duckworth in the second round.
Dominant Performance
De Minaur showcased his impressive form on grass, dominating the match from the outset. He won the first set 6-2 with ease, displaying his powerful serving and precise groundstrokes. The second set proved to be just as straightforward, with de Minaur claiming it 6-3.
