Venus Williams, Kei Nishikori and Johanna Konta ground out victories to make the last 32, while new mum Victoria Azarenka continued her comeback bid for Grand Slam glory. Rafael Nadal continued his imperious run of form as he swept aside American Donald Young 6-4 6-2 7-5. The two-times champion was rarely troubled by an opponent ranked 43rd in the world who chose to slug it out from the back of the court against the supreme Spanish baseliner. However, Petra Kvitova, the two-time Wim- bledon champion and favourite for the 2017 ti- tle, was knocked out in the second round. The Czech 11th seed lost 6-3, 1-6, 6-2 to Madison Brengle of the United States. Kvitova, who is playing in her second Grand Slam since recovering from a terrifying knife at- tack in her home, needed to call for medical as- sistance during the third set. Brown, the dreadlocked German with Ja- maican roots, knocked out Nadal in the second round two years ago at the All England Club.
