Wimbledon: Katie Boulter and Heather Watson win, Alastair Gray beaten

British wildcard Katie Boulter enthralled Wimbledon's Centre Court with a stunning fightback to beat 2021 runner-up Karolina Pliskova.

After Emma Raducanu and Andy Murray lost there on Wednesday, 25-year-old Boulter delighted the home fans on Centre with a 3-6 7-6 (7-4) 6-4 win.

Boulter has reached the third round of a major for the first time.

Heather Watson matched her best Wimbledon singles performance by beating Wang Qiang.

The 30-year-old needed only one game to wrap up a 7-5 6-4 victory in a match halted by darkness on Wednesday.

Watson, who has played in singles every day of the tournament and only had four hours' sleep on Wednesday night, will face Slovenian Kaja Juvan on Friday.
