2012 Wimbledon Scores: Novak Djokovic Advances, Maria Sharapova To Finish Match Thursday
The 20-year-old Harrison gave Djokovic a good match. However, he couldn’t notch the necessary break that could have turned the tables in any of the three sets. Harrison went 0-for-6 on break chances, compared to an efficient 3-for-3 for Djokovic. Harrison also struggled serving and returning second serves. Djokovic won 82 percent of his second serves, compared to 48 percent for Harrison.
Sharapova had just won a break when play was suspended, and will serve when the match resumes on Thursday.
