Iga Swiatek Vs Karolina Pliskova Match Gallery, Wimbledon 2026: Defending champion Swiatek cruised into the third round of the Ladies' Singles with a 6-1, 6-3 victory over 2021 runner-up Karolina Pliskova on Centre Court. Following a tearful, three-set battle in her opening match, the Polish third seed found her rhythm and composure, completing the rout in just 69 minutes. In a dominant display, she served well, winning 70% of her first-serve points and 83% on second. Despite a brief 2-0 lead for the 34-year-old Czech in the second set, Swiatek replied with purpose, breaking back immediately to seal what she called "a normal day at the office". Pliskova, in contrast, struggled to find answers on grass after missing months with an ankle injury sustained at the US Open 2024. Next, the 25-year-old from Warsaw continues her title defence against Alexandra Eala, the Filipina sensation who defeated Maya Joint in three sets.

Alexandra Eala Vs Maya Joint Match Gallery, Wimbledon 2026: Eala defeated Joint 3-6, 6-2, 6-0 in the second round of the Ladies' Singles. The 29th-seeded Filipina bounced back after dropping the first set to the unseeded Australian, who was riding high on confidence after upsetting Serena Williams in her opening match. The victory was highly emotional for Eala, as it allowed her to settle a bitter score by avenging a heartbreaking defeat to Joint in the Eastbourne final last season. Then, she wasted four match points in the 6-4, 1-6, 7-6 loss. Now, with this hard-fought comeback, the 21-year-old has carved her name into tennis lore by becoming the first player from the Philippines to reach the third round of a Grand Slam in the Open era. Up next, Eala faces an immense challenge as she is scheduled to battle the defending Wimbledon champion, Polish superstar Iga Swiatek, who defeated Karolina Pliskova in straight sets.

Felix Auger-Aliassime Vs Dino Prizmic, Wimbledon 2026: Third-seeded Auger-Aliassime celebrated Canada Day in style by defeating Croatian talent Dino Prizmic 7-6(2), 6-3, 7-5 on No. 1 Court. The Canadian thus ended a disappointing trend at the All England Club, where he had failed to pass the second round since a quarter-final appearance in 2021. The 25-year-old from Montreal dominated behind his powerful serve, firing 15 aces and winning 86 per cent of his first-serve points while also saving both break points he faced. Despite the straight-sets scoreline, the match concluded with a breathless final rally. While the loss ends his singles campaign, the 20-year-old Prizmic will take solace knowing that he will become Croatia's new national No. 1 following the tournament, overtaking Marin Cilic.

Daniil Medvedev Vs Daniel Merida Photo Gallery, Wimbledon 2026: Eighth seed Medvedev overcame a sluggish start on Court Two to defeat Spanish Grand Slam debutant Daniel Merida 3-6, 6-3, 7-5, 6-2, securing his spot in the Wimbledon third round. The 21-year-old Merida, who recently surged into the world's top 100, stunned the former world number one by taking the opening set with an error-free service game. However, the Russian star used his experience to adjust, firing 13 aces and securing five crucial break points to shift the momentum completely. For the two-time semi-finalist at the All England Club, the key highlight of the match was his dominance in the later stages, including a remarkable streak of 12 consecutive points. Up next, Medvedev faces either 28th-seeded American Brandon Nakashima or German veteran Jan-Lennard Struff, who were tied at 2-2 when their second-round match was suspended due to darkness.

Coco Gauff Vs Solana Sierra Match Gallery, Wimbledon 2026: Seventh seed Gauff survived a massive scare on No. 1 Court, defeating Argentina's Solana Sierra 6-3, 3-6, 7-6 (10-7) to advance to the third round. The American controlled the opening set but lost momentum in the second and also witnessed a bizarre serve that flew sideways into the umpire's chair -- a 'how did that happen' moment. World number 56 Sierra capitalised on the shift, forging a 5-3 lead in the final set. Facing defeat, Gauff broke back to force a grueling tiebreaker. She trailed 7-4 before staging a dramatic comeback, firing an ace down the middle to claim six consecutive points for the victory. Interestingly, the match was played on the exact anniversary of Gauff's iconic 2019 debut win over Venus Williams on the very same court. American qualifier Claire Liu, who defeated Zeynep Sönmez of Türkiye 7-5, 6-3, awaits Gauff next. See the best photos from the Gauff vs Sierra match here.

Novak Djokovic Vs Stefanos Tsitsipas Match Gallery, Wimbledon 2026: A vintage Djokovic thrashed Tsitsipas 6-3, 6-4, 6-2 on Centre Court to storm into the 3rd round. The 39-year-old Serbian secured his 104th match win at the All England Club, now within one win of Roger Federer's historic record. Despite being billed as a heavyweight 2nd-round clash, the 7th seed turned the contest into a one-man show by winning 88 per cent of his first-serve points and committing only seven unforced errors. Tsitsipas, whose grass court struggles continue as his world ranking slides to 87th, failed to convert any of his five break points. The evening added extra flair with golf legend Rory McIlroy watching from the Royal Box, prompting a playful post-match exchange where Djokovic joked about playing tennis for McIlroy's Masters Green Jacket. Next up, the 7-time champion, in his pursuit of a historic 25th Grand Slam title, faces French 25th seed Arthur Rinderknech, who defeated Martin Damm.
