Rain Puts Damper On Day 4 Of Wimbledon Qualifying

Rain put a halt to play on Thursday, Day 4 of qualifying at Wimbledon. No matches were completed due to showers throughout the day, with 13 of 16 final-round qualifying matches not making it to court.

In an all-American battle, No. 6 seed Bjorn Fratangelo leads No. 22 seed Austin Krajicek, 6-3, 6-3, 3-1. Both players are aiming to make their main draw debuts at Wimbledon. Fratangelo broke into the Top 100 of the Emirates ATP Rankings this spring after a strong clay-court season that saw him reach the second round of Roland Garros and win the $50,000 ATP Challenger Tour event in Savannah, Georgia.

Albano Olivetti of France is one set away from his Wimbledon main draw debut after surviving a pair of tight sets against British wild card Edward Corrie, 7-6(5), 7-6(4), 1-0. The 24-year-old Frenchman returned to the tour this January after 19 months out due to injury.

Franko Skugor of Croatia is in the lead, 4-6, 6-1, 4-2, against No. 12 seed Gerald Melzer of Austria. The 28-year-old is looking to make his Grand Slam main draw debut and had never reached the final round of qualifying at a Grand Slam prior to this week.

All final-round qualifying matches will be completed on Friday, with the feature match being a #NextGen battle between No. 12 seed Yoshihito Nishioka of Japan and No. 29 seed Quentin Halys of France.
