Flora Johnson surprised to be in Wimbledon second round
Johnson and Fajmonova had actually gone head-to-head in the French Open earlier in the season, with the latter winning out in Roland Garros.
This time it was Johnson's turn to celebrate, but the 18-year-old admitted she hadn't expected to perform as well as she did, not least in such blustery conditions.
'It feels amazing,' said Johnson. 'I adapted quite well to the conditions. The wind was tricky and playing someone with a big serve on the grass was pretty difficult so I had to manage that and play with the wind.
'It was a bit surprising because I lost to her at Roland Garros. I wasn't expecting much but grass is my favourite surface. I feel I play pretty well on it. I had that confidence and the fact that the crowd was behind me made it pretty good.'
Johnson recently finished taking her A-Levels, in which she studied Maths, Economics, and French.
She plans to study at the University of Ohio in the United States on a tennis scholarship later this year but until then, Johnson has vowed to give it her all as she targets a winning farewell to home shores.
'It's very exciting to be here at this time of year with all the grass court tournaments,' added Johnson. 'It's definitely something I won't forget.
'I've been enjoying my time on-court because it took my mind off exams. I didn't really come with many expectations because I just finished my A-Levels ls so haven't been playing as much and this is a last hurrah.
'I'm just trying to play to make everyone proud. They all worked so hard to help me, my family and coaches. I play for them and to enjoy it out there.'

England overcome weather delays and disruption to clinch USA triumph
In a match that kicked off an hour later than scheduled owing to lightning strikes in the American capital, Curtis Langdon, Luke Northmore, Cadan Murley, Jack van Poortvliet, Harry Randall and debutant Gabriel Oghre all scored to make it three transatlantic wins from three following their impressive 2-0 victory in Argentina. The clash was also delayed by a subsequent half an hour when the players were marched off after a second strike but Steve Borthwick's side, who did concede late on when Shilo Klein crashed over for the hosts, kept their composure to stroll to a comfortable triumph. The result stretches England's current winning run to seven matches, their longest since back in 2020 ahead of upcoming autumn internationals against the likes of Australia and New Zealand at Allianz Stadium, Twickenham. The Saturday night encounter was the second of an Audi Field double header after USA had battled past Fiji 31-24 in front of a US women's record 15,198 fans earlier in the afternoon. That initially gave both sides just under an hour to gear up for the men's encounter as centre Max Ojomoh, full-back Joe Carpenter and second row Arthur Clark all prepared for their England debuts. Exeter Chiefs flyer Immanuel Feyi-Waboso was also making his hotly-anticipated return after missing the Argentinian leg of the tour while serving a two-match ban for a high tackle in a pre-tour warm-up match against a France XV. But a weather alert just 15 minutes before kick-off meant the match was delayed by an hour as the players were evacuated after a lightning strike. With proceedings eventually getting underway at 6:05pm local time, both sets of players emerged to another packed-out crowd as the flashes in the sky were replaced by a pyrotechnics display to greet their arrival from the tunnel. The encounter started scrappily but England could have grabbed an early breakthrough when debutant Clark was set free only for a penalty to be awarded for a forward pass from Van Poortvliet, matchwinner in the second Test against Argentina last weekend, in the build-up. The Eagles were dealt a blow shortly after when fly-half Chris Hilsenbeck received a yellow card for a deliberate knock-on – and England took full advantage when Langdon bundled over after a rolling maul just two minutes later. And they doubled their lead moments after when Ojomoh deftly put centre partner Northmore in to cross under the posts. George Ford, fresh off the back of his 100th cap in South America and a celebratory visit to the British Embassy in DC earlier this week, converted once again to fire England into a 14-0 lead. England thought they had a third when Alex Dombrandt crossed following an efficient-looking line-out routine but the try was disallowed for obstruction from the Harlequins No.8. And just seconds after that, both sets of players were marched off the pitch once again following more lightning within 10 miles from the stadium. Official rules dictate that there has to be 30 minutes without a lightning strike before play can resume, with players therefore eventually emerging for a 7:10pm restart time. The Red Rose thought they'd grabbed a third once again shortly after the stoppage but Carpenter was denied a debut try after a knock-on by Murley. But the Harlequins winger made amends just moments later when he weaved in from the left to dot down and finally stretch England's lead to 19-0. Borthwick's players continued their ruthless mood immediately after the break when Northmore played in Van Poortvliet for the scrum-half to grab his second try in as many matches. The England chief begun to ring the changes as the second half progressed, bringing on Randall, Fin Baxter and Ben Curry just after the 50th minute. And scrum-half Randall got in on the act 10 minutes after entering the fray, crossing after being played in by Feyi-Waboso following a brilliant break to extend England's lead to over 30 points. Borthwick then handed debuts to hooker Oghre and fly-half Charlie Atkinson as the game headed towards a conclusion. And both wasted no time in marking the occasion in style, with Oghre bundling over from close range before Atkinson's conversion hauled England's lead to 40 points. USA grabbed a late consolation through Klein to give the home fans who remained something to cheer about but England's work was done as they ended their triumphant tour in style.

Daniel Dubois vows ‘I'll be back' after second loss to Oleksandr Usyk
Usyk had shown his class against the 27-year-old from London during a one-sided contest in Krakow in 2023, where Dubois was adjudged to have landed an illegal low blow in round five, but the Ukrainian had been warned throughout fight week to expect a 'different' opponent this time. Yet, Usyk (24-0, 15KOs) proved too strong for Dubois (22-3, 21KOs) once again. After the former undisputed cruiserweight champion had got the better of the opening four rounds, he produced a masterful fifth-round finish to further cement his status as one of the sport's all-time greats. After Dubois was put down by a powerful right punch, the British boxer bravely made it back to his feet. He was floored again a matter of seconds later by a huge left hit to taste defeat for a third time in his professional career. It earned Usyk his 24th win and a seventh in a row against fighters from this country to ensure he got his hands back on the IBF title to add to his WBA, WBO and WBC belts as he became undisputed in the blue riband division for a second time. Dubois said: 'I have to commend him on his performance. I gave everything I had, probably a few things I could have sharpened up on, but take no credit away from the man. 'I was just fighting, I was in a fight and trying to pick up round by round. It is what it is, but I'll be back. Oleksandr Usyk celebrates winning the IBF, IBO, WBC and WBO world heavyweight bout against Daniel Dubois at Wembley Stadium (Bradley Collyer/PA) 'I want to thank everyone for coming out. I gave my best, we'll go back to the drawing board and come again.' Usyk later revealed the money shot was not a left hook but a punch titled 'Ivan' by the 38-year-old, who again went up a level in a rematch like he also showed against Dubois' compatriots Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua. 'Listen, we prepare for this fight with my team. We learn from first fight, we have a long time, two years, and we prepare a combination. You know the punch name Ivan,' Usyk revealed. 'Left hook? A hook is like this (gesture), that is Ivan. It is Ukrainian name. Ivan is you know a big guy, who lives in a village, he is Kozak, you say, 'what is your name?' And he says, 'my name is Ivan,'. 'Yeah, it is a hard, hard punch, Ivan. It is a long time. Maybe first time is 2018? Yeah, first time. It was USA in cruiserweight. 'Now I want to go back home, now I want to do a choice over what next. I will continue in boxing, I will continue in training, but now I cannot say who next.' This vintage Usyk victory meant he enjoyed more English capital success after he claimed Olympic gold at the London Games in 2012 and four years ago clinched his first world heavyweight belts in a points victory over Anthony Joshua at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Daniel Dubois walks out for the IBF, IBO, WBC and WBO world heavyweight bout against Oleksandr Usyk at Wembley Stadium (Bradley Collyer/PA) However, quizzed on if he agreed that he was one of the greatest of all-time, Usyk smirked: 'Ha, no. 'For me, UK is like a second home because this I take all my trophy. European (amateur) champion (in Liverpool), London 2012, Tony Bellew, Dereck Chisora, Anthony Joshua, three-time undisputed Dubois, I am very grateful for this country.' Queensberry promoter Frank Warren added: 'We witnessed one of the true modern-day legends tonight in action. 'Oleksandr Usyk for me is a heavyweight in any generation that would be an outstanding fighter. I take my hat off to him in how he coped, how he showed such mental resilience in someone's back yard, he is something special. He is a special fighter.' 'Daniel is obviously very disappointed, he is in the dressing room at the moment but he will come back.'

Daniel Dubois vows ‘I'll be back' after second loss to Oleksandr Usyk
