The second round match of Wimbledon 2023 between Roberto Carballes Baena and Holger Rune will take place on July 7.
Roberto Carballes Baena has exceeded expectations on grass this year, despite historically struggling on the surface with a 6/13 career record. He secured two impressive victories, defeating Ilya Ivashka in three sets at Mallorca and triumphing over Matteo Arnaldi in a grueling four-set match at Wimbledon. However, Carballes Baena’s luck with early-round draws against top-10 players continued at Wimbledon. In previous Grand Slam tournaments this year, he faced eventual champion Novak Djokovic in the first round of the Australian Open and encountered eventual quarterfinalist Stefanos Tsitsipas in the second round of the French Open.
Holger Rune returned to Wimbledon after a disappointing debut in 2022 and achieved his first victory at the prestigious tournament. He defeated George Loffhagen in straight sets, winning 7-6, 6-3, 6-2. Despite not winning a Grand Slam in 2023, Rune has had a successful season at the Slam level, reaching the quarterfinals at the Australian Open and the French Open. These consistent performances have secured his position in the top 10 rankings and propelled him to a career-high ranking of #6. Although Wimbledon is not his preferred surface, it will be intriguing to see if Rune can maintain his momentum and continue his success at the tournament.
