Félix Auger-Aliassime advanced to the third round of Wimbledon after defeating Dino Prizmic in straight sets on Court No. 1. The Canadian, seeded third at the grass-court Grand Slam, moved through to the next stage following an earlier victory over Alexander Shevchenko in the opening round.
How did the first set unfold?
The opening set remained tightly contested through six games, with both players holding serve solidly until Auger-Aliassime created a break opportunity that Prizmic could not convert. The set went to a tiebreak, where Auger-Aliassime dominated after Prizmic won the opening point. The Canadian won seven of the next eight points to take the first set after just over an hour of play.
What decided the second set?
Auger-Aliassime broke through in the seventh game of the second set after both players had held serve consistently. The Canadian converted his first break point of the set and then closed out the match on his service game with two set points. Prizmic, ranked 89th in the world, mounted a late challenge by earning a break point in the third set but could not capitalise on the opportunity.
Auger-Aliassime's progression keeps the Canadian on track in his bid for a deep run at the All England Club, where grass-court form remains crucial for any contender.
