US qualifier Jack Sock into 3rd round

WIMBLEDON, England (AP) — Qualifier Jack Sock became the eighth American man to reach the third round at Wimbledon with a 6-4, 6-4, 3-6, 7-6 (1) victory over compatriot Maxime Cressy. Those eight account for a quarter of the 32 players in the third round. That is the most for the United States at the grass-court Grand Slam tournament since 1995. It’s also the most at any major since the 1996 U.S. Open. The 29-year-old Sock is a three-time Grand Slam champion in doubles with two of those titles coming at Wimbledon. Sock will next face fellow qualifier Jason Kubler of Australia.
