Gabriel Diallo of Canada is out of Wimbledon after a four-hour, 23-minute loss to Italy's Lorenzo Sonego in second-round action Thursday. Diallo fell 7-6(4), 4-6, 7-6(4), 6-7(6), 6-2 despite twice fighting back from a set down, according to Yahoo Sports Canada.
How the match unfolded
Sonego broke serve early in the fifth set to establish a 2-0 lead, then held the advantage despite Diallo recovering one break to make it 3-2. The Italian won the next two service games to secure the victory. Over the first four sets, Diallo had been broken just once, keeping the match competitive until the final set.
