Borna Coric warmed up for Wimbledon by beating Roger Federer in Halle. There are worse ways to gear up for the grass at SW19. Or so you’d think. There was plenty of excitement around the 16th seed, but he has let himself down today, losing 7-6, 6-2, 6-2 to Daniil Medvedev. Coric made 30 unforced errors, which sums up his performance. Take nothing away from Medvedev, though. It’s another big win at Wimbledon for the rising Russian.
Here’s Kevin Mitchell on Andy Murray.
