Wimbledon: Vondrousova slayer Bouzas Maneiro continues fairy tale run into third round

Jessica Bouzas Maneiro won against Cristina Bucsa 7-6 (1), 6-3 to advance to the third round of Wimbledon at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in London on Thursday.

Bouzas Maneiro, ranked No 83, will play the winner of the match between No 31 seed Barbora Krejcikova and American qualifier Katie Volynets next.

The 21-year-old Spanish has dazzled at Wimbledon. In the first round she became the first player to topple a defending women’s singles champion in the first round since 1994 when she took out 2023 champion Marketa Vondrousova.

She had never won a tour-level match on grass prior to this week.

In the previous round of The Championships, Bucsa, ranked No 64, edged out Romanian Ana Bogdan (6-4, 4-6, 7-6 (5)).
