UK’s Liam Broady upsets #4 Casper Ruud in Second Round at Wimbledon

Day 4 at Wimbledon proved to be the most upset-heavy day yet. Two top-10 players were knocked out on day 4, turning the tournament upside down. Casper Ruud (No. 4) and Taylor Fritz (No. 9) fell to Liam Broady (No. 142) and Mikael Ymer (unseeded), respectively.

Broady vs Rudd

Liam Broady beat No. 4 Casper Ruud in a five-set thriller. Broady took the first set before dropping the next two to Ruud. Then, Broady came back and took the last two sets, shutting Ruud out 6-0 in the final set.

First Set: 6-4 (Broady)

Second Set: 6-3 (Ruud)

Third Set: 6-4 (Ruud)

Fourth Set: 6-3 (Broady)

Fifth Set: 6-0 (Broady)

This victory marks Broady’s first win versus a top-10 player. Ruud had a “first” too. Only his wasn’t as celebratory. The defeat marked Ruud’s first loss to an opponent ranked as low as No. 142.
