Liam Broady delivered a career-defining performance as he triumphed over world number four Casper Ruud in a thrilling five-set match, securing his place in the third round of Wimbledon 2023.

In a display of trademark tenacity, Broady showed remarkable resilience to bounce back from being two sets to one down. Energised by the electric atmosphere on Centre Court, he sealed a sensational 6-4, 3-6, 4-6, 6-3, 6-0 victory in an intense battle lasting three hours and 27 minutes.

Despite Casper Ruud's notable achievements, reaching the finals of Roland Garros and the US Open in the past year, he was unable to counter Broady's combination of flair and determination.

This remarkable win propels the 142nd-ranked player in the world to the third round for the second consecutive year at Wimbledon.
