Result
No. 3 seed Félix Auger-Aliassime held off Dino Prižmić 7-6(2) 6-3 7-5 to reach the third round, though he had to save the tightest moment late: the Canadian trailed 5-4 in the deciding set before reeling off the last three games. Auger-Aliassime hit 15 aces against 7 double faults, converted 2 of his 4 break-point chances and saved both break points he faced across the match. It was the first meeting between the third seed and the 20-year-old Croatian, who arrived at Wimbledon having beaten Novak Djokovic at the Rome Masters in May.

At this Stage
Dino Prižmić travelled with a scalp that demanded respect — the 20-year-old had stunned Novak Djokovic in Rome in May — plus a four-set recovery past Adam Walton (4-6 7-6(3) 6-4 6-2). Félix Auger-Aliassime, the No. 3 seed, had strolled through Alexander Shevchenko 6-3 6-1 6-4. Their first meeting stayed honest to the end, but the seed held: 7-6(2) 6-3 7-5, no set given cheaply. For a man still chasing a first grass title and a run past his 2021 quarter-final here, these are exactly the rounds to clear without drama. Auger-Aliassime advances to a last-32 meeting with qualifier Michael Zheng.
