Both No. 1 seeds are rolling into the third round
The second round of the men’s draw largely went according to plan, as all of the top 10 seeds who were in action rolled through their matches on Wednesday. No. 1 seed Jannik Sinner looked much improved in a solid win over Nuno Borges (7-6, 7-6, 6-4), while No. 3 seed Felix Auger-Aliassime, No. 7 seed Novak Djokovic, No. 8 seed Daniil Medvedev and No. 9 seed Flavio Cobolli all cruised in three or four sets.
Unfortunately for American tennis fans, the top seed to go down in the men’s draw on Wednesday was No. 16 seed Learner Tien, who struggled with cramping in his match with veteran Marton Fucsovics and lost in four sets (6-7, 6-4, 7-6, 6-3). While Tien got dumped out, a number of other Americans punched their ticket to the third round as No. 21 seed Tommy Paul, Jenson Brooksby and Michael Zheng all picked up wins on Wednesday.
The women’s draw saw the biggest upset of the day, as No. 5 seed and the 2026 French Open champion Mirra Andreeva got taken out by Barbora Krejcikova (4-6, 7-5, 6-4) in a stunner on Centre Court. No. 7 seed Coco Gauff nearly made it two top 10 seeds getting eliminated on Wednesday, but Gauff fought back from 7-4 down in a third-set tiebreak to escape with a win over Solana Sierra (6-3, 3-6, 7-6).
The rest of the top women’s seeds took care of business in less dramatic fashion. No. 1 seed Aryna Sabalenka fought off a game effort from American McCartney Kessler (6-1, 7-6), while No. 4 seed Jessica Pegula, No. 10 seed Karolina Muchova, No. 11 seed Belinda Bencic, No. 14 seed Naomi Osaka and No. 16 seed Iva Jovic all rolled in straight sets.
