Denis Shapovalov saw off Andy Murray in straight sets under the roof on Centre Court in the third round of the men's singles at Wimbledon on Friday evening.
Murray had already been through two gruelling matches in the run-up to Friday's clash, but he was comprehensively outplayed by the Canadian No. 10 seed as Shapovalov won 6-4, 6-2, 6-2.
The British three-time Grand Slam winner slipped twice in the first two games of the match, changed his shoes and quickly found himself 1-5 down having been broken twice on his own serve. He rallied to bring it back to 3-5, but Shapovalov saw out the first set.
Shapovalov then broke Murray twice at the start of the second set and despite slipping himself three times, held serve to take the set 6-2. The match was then paused as the roof was shut, and the floodlights switched on, but the Canadian kept his foot on the throttle to break Murray twice and serve out for a comfortable win, taking the third 6-2.
"This is a dream come true for me," Shapovalov said. "I'm just trying to soak in everything before I leave, I didn't think I could play any better. To play against a legend like Andy and huge shout outs to him, he's truly an inspiration to so many people."
Murray received a wildcard for this year's tournament and had already battled through his first two matches at Wimbledon. He was playing his first men's singles matches since 2017 after struggling with a long-standing hip injury, but now with his new metal hip, Murray rolled back the years on Centre Court as he beat 24th seed Nikoloz Basilashvili in four sets 6-4, 6-3, 5-7, 6-3 on Monday. He was then pushed to five sets by Oscar Otte, but eventually saw him off 6-3, 4-6, 4-6, 6-4, 6-2.
Shapovalov came into Wimbledon as the No. 10 seed and had come through in five sets (6-4, 4-6, 6-3, 5-7, 6-4) in a tricky opener against Philipp Kohlschreiber on Monday but then received a walkover in the second round after Pablo Andujar withdrew due to a hip injury.
Earlier in the day, British No. 1 Dan Evans was knocked out of this year's Championships, losing to American Sebastian Korda 3-6, 6-3, 3-6, 4-6.
The match marked Korda's first time on Centre Court, but the 20-year-old held firm under pressure from the No. 22 seed Evans.
"I just stayed calm in the biggest moments as much as I could. I just stayed relaxed and played attacking tennis and I'm really proud of myself," Korda said in his on court interview after the match.
"It's a big achievement. A year ago I was No. 220 in the world and now I'm here in the fourth round of Wimbledon. I have my family to thank and my coaches and everyone around them."
Korda won a quick first set, breaking Evans to lead 5-3. Several forehand errors throughout the match saw Evans lose confidence and he couldn't build on winning the second set.
The British No. 1 looked like he might take the lead in the fourth set when he went 4-2 up but Korda managed to break back.
More errors from Evans, including a double fault at 4-4, gave Korda the space he needed to take the set.
With Evans and Murray both out, Cameron Norrie is Great Britain's remaining hope in the men's draw and he has the unenviable task of playing Roger Federer on Centre Court on Saturday. Shapovalov now faces Spain's Roberto Bautista Agut in the fourth round on Monday.
Norrie also appeared in the men's doubles on Friday, playing alongside Spain's Jaume Munar to edge Petros and Stefanos Tsitsipas 7-5, 7-6 (7-5).
There was both success and failure for the British contingent in the mixed doubles as Team GB pair Harriet Dart and Joe Salisbury beat compatriot Heather Watson and Finland's Henri Kontinen 6-1, 7-6 (7-3).
