Player Form and Key Stats

Tien has climbed from No. 62 to No. 17 over the past year.

He holds a 21-11 record in 2026, with his only grass-court defeat coming against world No. 4 Félix Auger-Aliassime.

Fucsovics, ranked 76th, recently defeated Hubert Hurkacz in Den Bosch without converting any of his seven break points, winning via two tie-breaks.

This marks the second consecutive year Fucsovics faces a left-handed American at Wimbledon, following his 2025 third-round loss to Ben Shelton.

Tien faced 20 break points and won just 43 percent of his second-serve points during his first-round victory on Monday, according to Sportinglife.

Their only previous meeting was on clay in Bordeaux, where Damm won in straight sets with just one service break.

In the women's draw, former Wimbledon semi-finalist Tatjana Maria meets teenage prospect Iva Jovic, who recently reached the Queen's Club semifinals.

Maria has won 22 of her last 29 grass-court matches, including a title at Queen's Club last year and a final appearance in Eastbourne last week.
