Rublev defeats Mannarino to advance to the Wimbledon round of 16

Rublev faced Mannarino in the third round of Wimbledon. The Russian entered the match with a 3-1 advantage in their head-to-head meetings.

Despite the 10 break points created by the Frenchman, Rublev proved more efficient after his first serve (80% of points won compared to 65%) and also more aggressive overall (33 winners to 20).

A quarterfinalist in 2023, the Russian secured a spot in the tournament's second week for the second time this year at a Major (Roland Garros), a first in his career.

Another notable achievement: the world No. 14 has reached the round of 16 at least three times across all four Grand Slam tournaments. For a place in the quarterfinals, he will have a tough challenge ahead, as he could potentially face Alcaraz.
