Result
Hubert Hurkacz backed up his first-round upset of Casper Ruud with a 7-6(8) 6-4 6-4 win over Sebastian Ofner in 1h 57m on Court 14. The Pole edged a tense opening tiebreak, saving set points before pulling clear, and served his way through the rest — 16 aces to 11 and 88% of first-serve points won. Ofner actually struck more winners, 40 to 33, but Hurkacz was cleaner off the ground with 14 unforced errors to 20 and converted 3 of 5 break points to advance to the third round.

At this Stage
Hubert Hurkacz came in unseeded — outside the top 100 for the first time since 2018 — but playing like a man who hadn't been told, fresh off a 6-4 6-2 7-6(7) upset of No. 11 seed Casper Ruud. Sebastian Ofner had taken the long road here, five sets past Hamad Medjedovic (1-6 6-2 4-6 6-3 6-4). In their first meeting on grass the Pole made it three from three in the head-to-head, 7-6(8) 6-4 6-4, and has still not dropped a set this tournament. The ranking says one thing, the tennis quite another. Next comes a last-32 meeting with No. 21 seed Tommy Paul.
