Result
No. 16 seed Learner Tien beat Dalibor Svrčina 6–1 6–4 6–7(4) 6–3 on Court 17 in 2h 59m to reach the second round. The 20-year-old American left-hander hit 56 winners to Svrčina's 34 and served 11 aces, converting eight of his 14 break points. Svrčina, playing his first Wimbledon main-draw match after four qualifying exits, took the third set in a tiebreak but Tien won 153 points to 133 overall.

At this Stage
Four times Svrčina had fallen in Wimbledon qualifying; at the fifth attempt he made the main draw, and for one set — a pinched third-set tiebreak — he made the wait feel worth it. Tien, the 20-year-old left-hander seeded 16th after a strong grass season, reasserted control immediately, finishing with eight breaks of serve and a four-set win. The seed advanced as expected, if not quite unmarked. What came next looked gentle on paper — Márton Fucsovics, through on Luca Van Assche's retirement — but paper misled: the Hungarian put the American out in four.
