One year after reaching the quarter-finals, Australia’s Ajla Tomljanovic advanced into the round of 16 at Wimbledon with a three set win over former French Open champion Barbora Krejcikova in three sets at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in London on Saturday.
The 29-year-old Tomljanovic came from a set down to upset the 13th seeded Krejcikova 2-6, 6-4, 6-3 in two hours and seven minutes on Court 12.
