Brit Peniston’s sensational summer continues, into Wimbledon second round

Wild card Ryan Peniston reached the second round of Wimbledon by winning against Swiss Henri Laaksonen 6-4, 6-3, 6-2 at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in London on Tuesday.

Peniston, ranked No 135, will face American Steve Johnson next.

This was the 26-year-old’s first-ever main-draw match at a Grand Slam – meaning it was also his first-ever best-of-five match. He reached the quarter-finals of Eastbourne last week, falling to compatriot Jack Draper, having previously reached that stage in the previous weeks, at Queen’s, at Nottingham, and at Surbiton.
