Day thirteen: Searle crowned Boys' singles winner; Hewett finishes runner-up to Tokito Oda
The final day of the Championships saw Henry Searle become the first British Junior Wimbledon Boys' singles champion since 1962 after beating world No.7 Yaroslav Demin while wheelchair star Alfie Hewett finish runner-up to world No.1 Tokito Oda.
Searle – a 17-year-old from Wolverhampton - has become the first British boy since Stanley Matthew in 1962 to lift the Boys’ singles trophy in SW19 and even more impressively, did so without dropping a single set.
Stepping onto Court 1 for the biggest match of his young career, Searle 3-4 as he staved off three break points at 3-4 before finding a crucial break to love on Demin's serve to edge the lead.
With the pressure of serving for the set on his shoulders, the big-serving lefty crunched a 132mph serve out wide before hitting an inside out forehand into the corner of court to give him the advantage.
From there, the Brit needed only one break in the second set before closing in on the title in one hour and 25 minutes to etch his name into the British tennis history books.
However, it wasn't meant to be today for world No.2 Hewett in the men's wheelchair singles final as he lost out to Tokito Oda, 6-4, 6-2.
Entering the contest with a chance to lift his maiden Wimbledon men's wheelchair singles title and re-gain his position as world No.1, Hewett made a fast start but 17-year-old Oda soon shook off the nerves as he clinched five consecutive games to take the first set.
Despite the Brit finding an early break in the second, Oda fought back to gain a double break and eventually wrap up the title.
Meanwhile, Isabelle Lacy and Hannah Klugman finished runners-up in this year's Girls' doubles final after losing out 6-4, 7-5 to Czech duo Alena Kovackova and Laura Samsonova.
The British duo withstood three break points to hold serve and make it 4-3 in the first set before the Czech duo capitalised on a further two break point opportunities and eventually take the set.
After falling a double break down in the second, the set looked out of reach for Klugman and Lacy; but in looking to enjoy every last second of their Wimbledon experience the British duo fought their way back into the contest by levelling the scoreboard to 5-5.
However, one last blow from Kovavkova and Samsonova saw them clinch the decisive break that would lead them to the Girls’ doubles title in SW19.

The two seeded pairs achieved concrete holds in the opening round, with both winning over 80% of points on their first serve. However, it was the cross-channel duo, Skupski and Koolhof, who made the first move, employing ripping returns to poke holes in the defence of Bopanna and Ebden.
With a solitary break in their locker, Skupski set up three set points on serve, eventually taking the set with a comfortable hold.
As the scoreline pressure became visibly weighted on the shoulders of Bopanna, he gifted Skupski and Koolhof a second break point after letting slip two double faults in the decisive set.
With a first Wimbledon final in touching distance for the top seeds, they wasted no time in capitalising on the presented opportunity before them to edge ahead before Koolhof stayed calm and collected, producing an ace to seal the win in one hour and 28 minutes.

Another lengthy battle on the Reid and Hewett service game led the reigning French Riviera champions to an equaliser. However, the Brits showed no signs of letting up as they upped the tempo to prevail with a break in the bank.
The battle of the breaks continued into the deciding set as the momentum flitted between the two sides, but the Brits remained composed as they eventually broke away, steamrolling ahead with another cushioning double break.
In the final race to the finish line, Hewett found himself broken for the first time in the match following back-to-back double faults.

De Groot and Griffioen wasted no time in settling into the match, winning immediate break points to dictate the terms of engagement.
Despite the British/Dutch duo showing signs of aggression on the return, the No.2 seeds defended an impressive eight of nine break points in the match to maintain their lead, eventually sealing a straight-sets victory at the third time of asking.

Meanwhile, it wasn't to be for British hopefuls Jonny O'Mara and Olivia Nicholls who narrowly lost their mixed doubles semi-final in three sets.
A comeback win saw Skupski and partner Wesley Koolhof reach their first Wimbledon men’s doubles semi-final since partnering up, following a victory over Ariel Behar and Adam Pavlasek, 4-6, 6-2, 6-4.
After dropping the first set, the British, Dutch duo soon hit the ground running in the second and third – showcasing a masterclass in doubles movement and returning as they outclassed their opponents.
With the pressures of serving for the match weighted heavily on the shoulders of Koolhof, the world No.2 stood firm to eventually cement the top seeds’ spot in the final four with a thundering first serve – could they be the team to beat as we approach the business end of the tournament?
Skupski and Koolhof have now set up a meeting with the winner of Rohan Bopanna & Matthew Ebden and Tallon Griekspoor & Bart Stevens.
Murray and Michael Venus’ Wimbledon dream came to an end at the hands of 10th seeds Tim Putz and Kevin Rawitz, 6-4, 6-4.
The British, Kiwi duo were by far the dominant players in the opening set – however, a late charge in the final game of the first saw the all-German duo find a break to steal the set, before ousting Murray and Venus in the second to wrap up the match win.
Bains and Lumsden became the first all-British women's pair to reach the Wimbledon quarter-final since 1983, but missed out on a spot in the final four following a 6-2, 6-1 defeat to Storm Hunter and Elise Mertens.
Hunter and Mertens looked to make a fast start in the quarter-final encounter by breaking on the Brits’ opening service game and put the opening set out of reach after they extended their lead to 4-1. The second set was a similar story, as the Australian, Belgian duo raced to a double break - proving too powerful for Bains and Lumsden to break down.
In the mixed doubles semi-finals O'Mara and Nicholls battled hard against seventh seeds Mate Pavic and Lyudmyla Kichenok but eventually lost 7-6(6), 4-6, 6-3.
Having lost the opening set by the finest of margins as Pavic found a couple of millimetres of the line to edge the tie-break, but the Brits responded well.
O'Mara and Nicholls clinched the first break of the second against the Croatian's serve - despite his protests that his volley clipped O'Mara's racket before sailing out - and then broke again to level the score.
The Brits had a break point opportunity in the opening game of the third, but after that, the Croatian, Ukranian's quality proved too much and they dropped just two points on serve the rest of the way.
Wheelchair
Alfie Hewett began his campaign to complete the career Grand Slam with his first grass court victory over 2021 champion Joachim Gerard. Hewett avenged his loss in the final at the cinch Championships by defeating the world No.4 6-3, 6-4.

"This is the Slam where I come in feeling the most confident as I feel good on the grass," Reid said. "The support that we get as British players gives you extra energy.”
This is the first time that Hewett and Reid have both made the semi-finals at Wimbledon in the same year.
Britain's Lucy Shuker was looking to hunt down a career-first win at Wimbledon against the Netherlands' Aniek Van Koot, but despite taking the first set the Brit struggled to keep the energy in the second and third, eventually losing out 2-6, 6-1, 6-2.

An early break on the Koolhof serve saw the Australians edge ahead, but only momentarily as a forehand fired into the netting by Thompson led Skupski and Koolhof to an equaliser.
The top seeds weren’t to make the same mistake twice, however, finding a second successive break to repossess the advantage before holding to love to seal the set.
In the second, a last-minute charge from Purcell and Thompson forced the joint world No.2 pair to defend an impressive six set points on serve, diminishing any immediate signs of danger as they clung on to stay in the set. Yet, Skupski and Koolhof proved their top seed status, leading the tie-break 6-3 before Koolhof produced an acute volley to dispatch the reigning doubles champion and his partner.
Skupski and Koolhof move on to face Ariel Behar and Adam Pavlasek in the quarter-finals - who knocked out 2021 champions Nikola Mektic and Mate Pavic.
Elswhere, Murray and Michael Venus dispatched fourth seeds, Monaco’s Hugo Nys and Poland’s Jan Zielinski, 6-4, 6-3.
Needing only the solitary break to claim the first set, Murray and Venus – who have already claimed three ATP doubles titles this season – steamrolled into the second and broke once again in the opening game of the set.
Despite the Polish, Monegasque duo’s best efforts to claw their way back into the game, fighting back from a 2-0 deficit to take a 3-2 lead, Murray and Venus took the next four games in a row to seal a comfortable victory against the fourth seeds.

All-British duo Bains and Lumsden become the first British pair to reach the third round of the women's doubles draw since 1983 after outfoxing Viktoria Hruncakova and Tereza Mihalikova 6-3, 6-7(5), 6-3.

Meanwhile, British wild card duo Jacob Fearnley and Johannus Monday missed out in a hard fought encounter against 2023 Indian Wells champions Rohan Bopanna and Matthew Ebden.

After missing out in the first-set tie break, the British, Kiwi fought back to take the second; but just when the match looked as though it’d be settled with a third consecutive tie-break, things started to click for the pair - who have picked up three ATP titles so far this year.
Two world-class volleys at the net from Venus brought up three break point opportunities before Murray sealed the break with another inch-perfect volley to book their spot in the next round.
Success keeps on coming for British duo Bains and Lumsden, who sailed into the second round with a 6-4, 6-4 victory over Magda Linette and Bernarda Pera.

However, it wasn't meant to be for Great Britain’s Glasspool and partner Mahut who fell short in a tough three-set battle against David Pel and Reese Stalder, 4-6, 6-3, 7-6(7).
Despite the first set going the way of the British, French duo, Pel and Stalder soon found an entryway into the contest after securing the only break of the second set to level the scoreboard.
With little separating the two in the third and final set, it was a double fault from Glasspool that gifted the Dutch, American duo the victory on their second match point.

The British, Australian pair - who were playing for only the second time together - looked right at home on the doubles court, but when it came to the decisive moments in the final set tie-break, it was the more experienced duo who prevailed to book their spot in the quarter-final.
Despite the defeat, Boulter and de Minaur left the court with beaming smiles on their faces and we're confident we'll see them join forces again very soon.
British No.1 Katie Boulter went out in the third round of Wimbledon to reigning champion and third seed Elena Rybakina in a late night clash on Centre Court.
The world No.3 showed the level that took her to her first Grand Slam title at SW19 12 months ago as she completed a 6-1, 6-1 win in just over an hour.

Despite knocking out the seventh seeds only the day before and getting off to a flying start out on Court 8, the Brits were unable to recover from a break in the first game of the decider.

Freya Christie and Ali Collins missed out on their chance to make the second ound at Wimbledon for the first time, losing a close battle with Anastasia Detiuc and Andrea Gamiz 6-4, 2-6, 6-3.

Andy Murray, Cam Norrie and Liam Broady's Wimbledon campaigns all came to an end in the second round on day five at Wimbledon.
Murray returned to Centre Court leading world No.5 Stefanos Tsitsipas 2-1 after a curfew bought an end to play on Thursday night, but the two-time champion eventually lost out in a five-set thriller 7-6(3), 6-7(2), 4-6, 7-6(3), 6-4.
Tsitsipas proved too strong in the biggest points on the second day of their match and after edging the third tie-break of the match he took his first break of the match and won 17 of 18 points on first serve to see out the win in four hours and 43 minutes.
British No.1 Norrie's Wimbledon title dreams came to an end at the hands of world No.43 Christopher Eubanks, 6-3, 3-6, 6-2, 7-6(3).
In the second round encounter, it was Eubanks who made a statement first on his Centre Court debut after securing the opening set - but a strong response from the Brit saw him fight back into the contest by clinching the only break of the second set.
The American continued to apply the pressure on his groundstrokes, rallying together an incredible 63 winners across the match to take a two set advantage before triumphing in the fourth set tie-break to upset the home favourite and secure his spot in the third round.
Meanwhile, Broady missed out to 2021 quarter-finalist Denis Shapovalov, 4-6, 6-4, 7-5, 7-5.
In an opening set that saw five breaks of serve, it was the Brit who had the last say, as he broke the world No.29 to take the set. However, the Canadian soon found his rhythm as he clinched the double break to even the tie.
From there, it was a battle of fine margins which saw Shapovalov prove more clinical in the decisive moments as he went on to take the third and fourth sets to secure victory.

Boulter's brilliant summer on the grass continues after she made a winning start in her 2023 Wimbledon campaign with a 7-6(4), 6-2 victory over Australia's Saville.
Returning to the court over 24 hours after her opening round match begun, Boulter took her chances when they came and dominated from the baseline - racking up an astounding 40 winners across the match to book her spot in the next round.
Burrage opened up Centre Court proceedings on Wednesday but unfortunately bowed out against world No.10 and Rothesay International Eastbourne runner-up, Daria Kasatkina 6-0, 6-2.
The Brit concludes her grass court season with a lot to be proud of, having finished runner up at a first WTA event at the Rothesay Open Nottingham and reaching the second round of Wimbledon for the first time in her career.
Meanwhile, 20-year-old Fery fell short against Medvedev 7-5, 6-4, 6-3 in front of a home crowd on Court 1.
Playing in his first ever tour-level match, wild card Fery rose to the occasion against the third seed, but in the end Medvedev's experience prevailed as he wrapped up the win in just over two hours.
Fery wraps up his summer season having secured his first ATP Challenger win at the Rothesay Open where he knocked out former world No.21 and is now at a new career-high of No.382 in the live rankings.
Watson embarked on a tough opening round match against 10th seed Krejickova which ultimately ended in a 6-2, 7-5 defeat. After dropping the opening set, the British No.5 dug deep to turn the match around but a late break from the Czech put an end to Watson's Wimbledon dreams.
Elsewhere, Loffhagen fought hard against Denmark's Holger Rune as he pushed for a tie-break in the opening set. However, the cinch Championships semi-finalist soon found his stride, as he eased past the Brit in a 7-6(4), 6-3, 6-2.
Kartal lost out to Rothesay International Eastbourne champion Madison Keys, 6-0, 6-3. The 21-year-old put up a strong fight against the world No.18 but eventually fell short as the American sprinted to a straight sets win in an hour and 16 minutes.
On a wet and rainy day in SW19, Britain's Andy Murray and Cam Norrie have joined Liam Broady in the second round after claiming victory in their opening round match-ups, while Dan Evans bowed out in defeat.
In an all-British encounter in the opening round of the men’s singles, Andy Murray overcame British No.7 Ryan Peniston 6-3, 6-0, 6-1.
Despite being his first ever appearance on Centre Court, Peniston got stuck into the Murray serve as he brought up a early break point opportunity at 2-1 but failed to capitalised before the former world No.1 seized a chance of his own to seal the opening set.
Looking well at home on the court that witnessed him lift the trophy twice, things started to click into place for the two-time champion in the second set. Landing an impressive 76% of first serves and dropping only four points behind it, the 36-year-old won six consecutive games to secure the second set in 39 minutes.
Murray dictacted and dominated across all areas of the court - winning all 17 points when he came forward to the net. Although trailing in the contest, Peniston continued to soak up the atmosphere of the occasion – however, it wasn’t meant to be for the world No.268 who hit a forehand wide to send Murray into the second round at this year’s Championships.
Speaking on his return to Centre Court in SW19, the Brit said, "It’s been a long time since I’ve felt physically this good coming into Wimbledon, which is positive. The last few years have been very challenging but I’m hoping I’m fit and ready for a good run."
The British No.3 will now go on to play the winner of fourth seed Stefanos Tsitsipas and Dominic Thiem.
Meanwhile, it wasn't so easy for No.1 Norrie who had to battle past Tomas Machac 6-3, 4-6, 6-1, 6-4 to book his spot in the next round.
Returning to Centre Court for the first time since his semi-final appearance at last year's Championships, the British No.1 made a fast start - striking the ball with power and precision to put his opponent on the backfoot and take the opening set.
The Czech qualifier soon raised his level in the second - piling the pressure on the Brit's before finding a second break of serve to level the match out to one set apiece.
However, with a home crowd behind him the momentum soon shifted back in the direction of the Brit, who sailed through the third set in just 25 minutes before clawing back from an early break in the fourth to eventually secure his spot in the second round.
Unfortunately, it wasn't meant to be for British No.2 Evans who bowed out in defeat to France's Quentin Halys 6-2, 6-3, 7-6(5), 6-4 in a match that spanned across two days.
After poor light brought the match to a close on Monday evening, Evans returned to court on Tuesday trailing two sets to the Halys.
While the Brit came back looking rejuvinated as he grasped ahold of the third set, he had left himself with a mountain to climb as the big-serving Frenchman proved too clinical to break down in the fourth.
Elsewhere, five other Brits were scheduled for action on the outside courts but were a rain delay caused play to be suspended for the day.
Jodie Burrage, Jan Choinski and Liam Broady became the first Brits into the second round at Wimbledon with Burrage and Choinski sealing their first-ever Grand Slam victories.
However, Harriet Dart and Katie Swan were defeated their opening matches. Dart narrowly lost to 20-year-old Diane Parry 6-7(4), 6-0, 6-4, while Swan put up a strong fight against Olympic Gold medalist Belinda Bencic but ultimately bowed out 7-5, 6-2.
Dan Evans will have to return tomorrow to finish his first round match as poor light brought an end to play on day one. The British No.2 currently trails Quentin Halys 6-2, 6-3.
Rothesay Open Nottingham finalist Burrage, knocked out American Caty McNally 6-1, 6-3 in just over an hour, to claim her first career main draw win at a Slam.
In a dominant performance, Burrage racked up 17 winners to set up a second round clash with 11th seed Daria Kasatkina.
"I'm just very happy," she said. "I think the smile says it all. I'm shaking like you can't believe. That one meant a lot."
Meanwhile, Choinski clinched the biggest win of his career against world No.56 Dusan Lajovic - coming from a set down to knock out the Serbian 5-7, 7-6(4), 6-2, 6-2.
The Brit converted eight break points against this year's Banja Luka champion as he took his first main draw win on grass this season in two hours and 37 minutes. He'll play Polish 17th seed Hubert Hurkacz in the next round.
"The crowd was electric tonight at my court, even though it was one of the smaller courts," he said. "I felt carried by the crowd, carried by the whole team, the whole LTA support that was there and my mum and girlfriend especially."
Broady will make his fourth second round appearance at Wimbledon thanks to a dominant 6-1, 6-3, 7-5 win over world No.74 Constant Lestienne.
The 29-year-old looked comfortable back at his home Slam, ripping off points from his forehand to break the Frenchman eight times over the course of two hours.
His next opponent will be none other than fourth seed Casper Ruud.
In the opening match of the day, Dart came back from 3-0 down in the first set to win it in a tie-break, but after the Brit lost a break point in the first game of the second, Parry took control. Having got back on serve in the deciding set, the windy conditions told once again with Dart 5-4 down as Parry broke for the eighth and final time.
Swan fought hard against 14th seed Bencic - hitting an impressive nine aces in the opening set - but once the Swiss star broke on her second set point at 6-5, the Brit found herself firmly on the backfoot. A finalist at the Lexus Surbiton Trophy in June, Swan finishes her grass court season having pushed herself into the world's top 150.
