Canada’s Brayden Schnur advances to final round of Wimbledon qualifying

Jun 26, 2019 | 10:44 AM

LONDON — Canada’s Brayden Schnur is one win away from reaching the first Grand Slam main draw of his career.

The No. 8 qualifying seed from Pickering, Ont., beat Toronto’s Steven Diez 6-3, 6-4 in an all-Canadian second-round Wimbledon qualifying match on Wednesday.

Players need to win three qualifying matches to be guaranteed a spot in the main draw.

Schnur, 23, won 84 per cent of his first-serve points, well ahead of Diez’s 67 per-cent clip.

The Canadian will play No. 18 qualifying seed Salvatore Caruso of Italy in the final round of qualifying on Thursday.

Four Canadian men are in the main draw at Wimbledon — No. 15 seed Milos Raonic of Thornhill, Ont., No. 19 Felix Auger-Aliassime of Montreal, No. 29 Denis Shapovalov of Richmond Hill, Ont., and unseeded Vasek Pospisil of Vancouver.

The draw takes place Friday and play begins Monday.
