The second stage match of Wimbledon 2023 between Alexander Zverev and Gijs Brouwer will take place on July 6.
Alexander Zverev had a solid Wimbledon preparation, reaching the semifinals at Halle without dropping a set. He also won a tight three-set match against Jiri Lehecka at the Hurlingham Exhibition. Although he hasn’t achieved a major breakthrough this year, Zverev has consistently improved since returning from an injury break. He reached the semifinals in his last three tournaments, including the French Open, where he faced a tough loss against Casper Ruud. Wimbledon remains the only Grand Slam where Zverev hasn’t reached the quarterfinals, with his best performances being the round of 16 in 2017 and 2021.
Gijs Brouwer faced challenging opponents like Jurij Rodionov and Otto Virtanen during the qualifying rounds, which has provided some preparation for his upcoming match against Alexander Zverev in the main draw. Despite having limited opportunities in tour-level events, Brouwer has left a positive impact, winning five out of seven first-round matches. He has even succeeded in the main draw of a Grand Slam before, defeating Adrian Mannarino in straight sets at the US Open last year.
