John McEnroe had to leave his BBC commentary duties during Arthur Fery’s match against Grigor Dimitrov. Fery, the lone British player in the men’s singles second week, won the opening set but ultimately lost to Dimitrov. McEnroe stepped away from the commentary box when Fery took an extended break after the second set.
Andrew Cotter, McEnroe’s co-commentator, humorously announced McEnroe’s departure. McEnroe mentioned his contractual obligations to cover Taylor Fritz’s matches at Wimbledon. Fritz, the only American left in the draw, was set to face Alexander Bublik in the next round.
Meanwhile, Linda Noskova, the 9th seed, defeated Madison Keys on Court 1. Fritz was preparing for a tough match against the 6th seed, Bublik, who had previously battled Tiafoe in a five-set match.
