    (WCIA) — Three-time All-American Aleks Vukic has added a win at Wimbledon to his professional tennis resume.

    Vukic defeated No. 45 Sebastian Ofner in five sets to advance to the round of 64, where he will face previous Wimbledon champion No. 3 Carlos Alcaraz.

    He helped Illinois win the Big Ten regular season and tournament titles in 2015, advancing to the NCAA Singles Quarterfinals in 2016.
