At this Stage

A 2024 quarter-finalist who counts grass among his favourite surfaces, fifth seed Alex de Minaur opened against Román Andrés Burruchaga — son of 1986 World Cup winner Jorge Burruchaga, but a debutant on this surface — and the gap showed. Once a tight first-set tiebreak went the Australian's way, 7-6(5) 6-1 6-0 became a procession: one game conceded across the final two sets. Burruchaga's grass education begins with a hard lesson; de Minaur's credentials stay untested rather than proven. Next in the round of 64 was Adrian Mannarino, the French veteran who had dispatched Titouan Droguet — a meeting de Minaur would go on to win with something to spare.
