Alexei Popyrin’s Wimbledon adventure has come to an end with a fighting four-set loss to world No.11 Daniil Medvedev.

The Australian teenager bowed out 6-7 (6-8) 6-1 6-4 6-3 6-4 in a high-quality second-round contest at the All England Club.

Popyrin was making his main-draw debut after powering through three qualifying matches and then beating former US Open semi-finalist Pablo Carreno Busta in the opening round.

He showed true grit to take the first set in a tight tiebreaker on Wednesday before Medvedev’s class and experience told as the Russian prevailed after two hours and 31 minutes.

But the 19-year-old’s great run has at least secured him in a direct entry to next month’s US Open, with Popyrin projected to rise to No.88 in the world.

He will be one of only three teenagers in the top 100 behind Canadian prodigy Felix Auger-Aliassime (18) and Serbian Miomir Kecmanovic (19).
