Dutch wild card Tim van Rijthoven has taken a long, slow and agonising road to the last 16 at Wimbledon, which has included the best part of three years lost to injury.&nbsp;
On Friday, however, the 25-year-old buried all the painful memories as his dream Grand Slam debut continued with a straight-sets win over Nikoloz Basilashvili.&nbsp;
Ranked outside the top 250 at the start of the year, Van Rijthoven won the &lsquo;s-Hertogenbosch grass-court title last month, defeating world number one Daniil Medvedev in the final.&nbsp;
It was his ATP main draw debut and that stunning success opened the door for the All England Club to award him a Wimbledon wild card. It&rsquo;s a scenario that would have appeared a distant dream over the past seven years.
