Jamie Murray and Michael Venus’ grass-court resurgence continued Sunday at Wimbledon, where the 13th-seeded pair rallied to a 6-7(5), 7-6(3), 6-3 second-round triumph against Alexander Erler and Lucas Miedler.

The British-Kiwi duo arrived at Wimbledon with an 0-2 record on grass this year but battled to a second consecutive three-set triumph at SW19 by saving both break points they faced against Erler and Miedler. Murray and Venus, who have lifted three ATP 250 titles together since first teaming at the start of 2023, will take on fourth seeds Hugo Nys/Jan Zielinski or Alejandro Davidovich Fokina/Adrian Mannarino next in London.

Their fellow seeds Marcel Granollers and Horacio Zeballos also advanced to the last 16. The Spanish-Argentine duo, which reached the Wimbledon championship match in 2021, ended the run of French #NextGenATP stars Arthur Fils and Luca Van Assche.

Fils and Van Assche had earlier completed a 6-7(3), 6-4, 6-2 first-round win against Petros Tsitsipas and Stefanos Tsitsipas, in a match that had been suspended due to bad light on Friday evening at the All England Club. They were unable to overcome the experience of Granollers and Zeballos upon returning to court, however, as the 15th seeds prevailed 7-6(1), 6-7(6), 6-4.

Nathaniel Lammons and Jackson Withrow managed to complete a Sunday upset at Wimbledon. The American pair took down seventh seeds Marcelo Arevalo and Jean-Julien Rojer 6-3, 7-6(5) to book their third-round spot. Also victorious on Sunday in south-west London were Roland Garros finalists Sander Gille and Joran Vliegen, who beat Laslo Djere and Christopher O’Connell in a first-round encounter.
