Wimbledon 2015 Results: Winners, Scores, Stats from Friday's Singles Bracket

The third round of the 2015 Wimbledon Championships got underway Friday, and many of the world's premier tennis stars fell victim to the continuous nature of upsets that has graced the All England Club over the last few days.

While all but three of the men's singles matches were decided in straight sets, that trio of matches more than made up for it. No. 26 Nick Kyrgios stole the headlines with his upset of No. 7 Milos Raonic, while 22-year-old Denis Kudla punched his ticket to Round 4 by knocking off fellow unseeded challenger Santiago Giraldo in a five-set thriller.

Arguably the day's most exciting match couldn't even get a proper ending. No. 17 John Isner and No. 9 Marin Cilic—the game's two best service men—had their five-set match postponed due to darkness with the fifth set tied at 10-10.

The top seed in the men's side took care of business, but the top-seeded ladies' singles player got pushed to the brink of elimination and nearly sent shockwaves through Wimbledon. Take a look below at a full breakdown of Friday's results.

No. 1 Serena Williams def. Heather Watson

She's written this storybook before, and it almost always ends in a resilient victory. But Serena Williams looked to be on the chopping block in the late moments against Heather Watson, only to bounce back in the way no one else can and win in three long sets.

Williams appeared to be in control after taking the first set, 6-2. But that was far from the case, as Watson stepped up her game in the second set to win it, 6-4, despite 18 winners from Williams in the set.

Winning just seven of her 20 points at the net, Williams went down two breaks in the third set and looked to be done. But she battled back from the deficit, taking the final set 7-5 and further etching her place in the history books, per ESPN Stats & Info:

There was reason to doubt for quite some time throughout Friday, but Williams' victory secured a fourth-round clash for the ages. She'll face sister Venus Williams, the tournament's No. 16 seed, Sunday, as SportsCenter noted:

Although she's made a name for herself by winning in this sort of fashion, it's fair to question whether or not Serena Williams might tire herself out before the second week of play. Friday's match went a long two hours and 14 minutes, and a few more of those could make her gassed when big opponents such as Maria Sharapova come up later in the draw.

For now, she'll be happy just to be around for one more match—especially against her sister.

No. 26 Nick Kyrgios def. No. 7 Milos Raonic

The hype train following Kyrgios is once again running at a speed capable of running off the tracks, as he defeated seventh-seeded Raonic Friday in a four-set display of dominance.

He's usually the most powerful service man on the court and was again Friday, but Kyrgios had trouble early on dealing with Raonic's serve. Raonic hit 12 of his 18 aces in the opening two sets, pushing the tempo and keeping Kyrgios on his heels.

But all along, Kyrgios remained in control with his own serve and got back into the match with it, as Brian Phillips of Grantland noted:

"

Kyrgios lost the first set with a multi-double-fault game; won the second set with three straight aces; continues to remain himself.

— Brian Phillips (@runofplay) July 3, 2015"

All in all, Kyrgios smashed 34 aces in a daunting display of superiority. After dropping that opening set, he rattled off the final three—one in a convincing tiebreaker—to knock off the second top-10 seed in the men's draw after Rafael Nadal went down Thursday. 

Unsurprisingly, Kyrgios kept it real with a brief statement, per Wimbledon:

Needless to say, most 20-year-old players would be rattled by the moment—especially after getting this far in such an esteemed event. But Kyrgios isn't your average 20-year-old. This is already his second career quarterfinal appearance at Wimbledon, his third at a Grand Slam and his second in 2015.

Of course, this time last year, Kyrgios fell to Raonic in the quarterfinals. With a test against No. 21 Richard Gasquet looming, perhaps the Australian has made the improvement necessary to force a semifinal clash against potentially Novak Djokovic.

No. 1 Novak Djokovic def. No. 27 Bernard Tomic

In a Friday filled with stiff tests for the top stars in the field, it was yet another wash-rinse-repeat performance for Djokovic in a straight-set drubbing of 27th-seeded Bernard Tomic.

The top-seeded Serbian took the match, 6-3, 6-3, 6-3, ousting the Australian in just one hour and 31 minutes. He won a blistering 81 percent of his first-serve points, executing at the net with ease at an 18-of-23 clip.

Like most of Djokovic's matches, his opponent felt like he was right there, only to be ousted convincingly before he knew it. Tomic said as much to Wimbledon.com's Helen Gilbert: 

"It was very close in moments, but somehow in those big points he just gets that...I can't even describe it in words. Too good, too good. To get to that level, you need to work hard.”

Take an in-depth look at just how good Djokovic was Friday, per Wimbledon:

Djokovic faced just his first seeded opponent of the tournament Friday, but it still didn't cause him to seriously sweat any of his three victorious sets. That bodes well for the Serbian entering his seventh straight Wimbledon round of 16.

There's also a chance that one of Djokovic's future opponents could be gassed, as the Cilic-Isner winner will have to face the surprising Kudla for the right to face Djokovic—should he get past 14th-seeded Kevin Anderson on Sunday.
