🇺🇸 Taylor Fritz

Taylor Fritz enters the Round of 16 as a prime seed (No. 5) and a seasoned grass-court competitor. In his usual form, he's never tasted defeat in his last five at Wimbledon, sealing crushing wins over Mpetshi Perricard, Diallo, and a four-set battle over Davidovich-Fokina. It has been an exhausting path for Fritz to get there, as he worked through pain in his knee tendinitis and elbow issues; he even went on to say that the intensity helped to rejuvenate his body. Coming fresh off ATP 250 titles in Stuttgart and Eastbourne, the tag "American Grass-Court King" has surely been cemented to his name. Being called American Grass-Court King has surely been earned by him, especially considering that he also emerged victorious at the ATP 250 tournaments in Stuttgart and Eastbourne. As observed on social media, fans were very much in awe of his fighting spirit, especially for the comeback in the five-setter against Mpetshi Perricard, with compliments to Fritz's focus: "Unbothered by extra time on court." Incidentally, he even sounds cautiously optimistic during his post-match interviews, stating that he felt he was "in a good position, playing tennis very well." Fritz essentially hopes to retain his sharpness and keep his fitness ailments under control in the round-robin pressure.

🇦🇺 Jordan Thompson

High on his good grass-court results, Thompson marched into the tournament as the No. 44 player in the world, presenting straightforward wins against Kopriva, Bonzi, and Darderi . Thompson offers gritty play-style and big mental toughness; for instance, he had one of the most memorable occasions when he beat Fritz 6‑4, 6‑3 in the Queen's quarterfinals in 2024, an effort characterized by denying Fritz any break points. The social media talks have centered on his gritty attitude, his Queen's upset being still circulating with praise for his resilience. He has even stated in interviews about embracing the underdog role and saying that "if you stick at it long enough you keep improving". Thompson is enjoying a very successful career on grass, with semifinal appearances at Libéma Open and a title at Los Cabos. He enjoys beating numerous big names, including all-time greats like Andy Murray and Tsitsipas. Thompson enters this match now fully confident following three straight-set victories, consistent in his grass-court form. We would expect a laser-focused, hard-hitting Thompson, out to recreate his Queen's shock and notch another major scalp.
