Brit Liam Broady in ANOTHER Wimbledon upset - and may play Katie Boulter's boyfriend next

Liam Broady helped continue flying the British flag on Thursday after Katie Boulter's sensational win over Karolina Pliskova with his own victory over Diego Schwartzman where he could face Boulter's boyfriend, Alex De Minaur, in the next round. This year's Wimbledon saw history made in the first round after 10 Brits made it through their opening match.

Not since 1984 had Britain had 10 players through to the second round of both singles draws. Alastair Gray, Harriet Dart, Emma Raducanu, Andy Murray and Ryan Peniston have since lost their second-round matches.

But all eyes were on the show courts on Thursday with Boulter and Broady both facing seeded players for a shot at their best-ever performance in a slam. Boulter came from a set down in a dramatic win over No 6 seed and last year's Wimbledon finalist Karolina Pliskova.

In the mean time, Broady was locked in an epic battle with the experienced Schwartzman.

The world No 137 also went five sets in his opening round match against Lukas Klein. A days rest was definitely needed though as he faced off against Schwartzman, who has reached the quarter-final of slams on five occasions and a regular in the top-20 rankings.
