American Michael Mo shocked Wimbledon 11th seed Felix Auger-Aliassime after claiming his second win over a big name as a “lucky loser” at a Grand Slam this year.
The battle between the two lasted four hours and seven minutes in brutally windy and cold conditions and ended with success for the world No. 119 with 7:6(4), 6:7(4), 7:6(4), 6:4.
Thus, Mo won his first victory in the main draw of the oldest and most prestigious Major competition.
Sealed with a kiss
