Fifth set tiebreaker at Wimbledon seems like a good time to get a little crazy, right?
That’s what Alejando Davidovich Fokina thought when he elected to try an underhanded serve against Denmark’s Holger Rune in Saturday’s third-round match in London.
With the fifth set tiebreaker all square at 8–8, Davidovich Fokina’s underhand serve was smashed in a return by Rune, which set up a match point. Rune would take the tiebreak 10–8 and ultimately advance to the Round of 16, 6–3, 4–6, 3–6, 6–4, 7–6 (10–8).
