WIMBLEDON, England (AP) — Two-time French Open runner-up Robin Sodeling lost to 18-year-old Bernard Tomic 6-1, 6-4, 7-5 Saturday in the third round at Wimbledon.

The fifth-seeded Swede reached the quarterfinals at the All England Club last year for his best performance in southwest London, but he could do little to stop Tomic from reaching the fourth round.

Tomic, a 158th-ranked Australian, is playing at Wimbledon for the second time. He lost in the first round last year.
