Arthur Fils advanced to the third round at Wimbledon for the first time after Hubert Hurkacz retired with a knee injury during their match. Hurkacz, who was leading 8-7 in the fourth-set tiebreak, sustained the injury after diving for a volley and was unable to continue despite a medical timeout. Fils, who won the first two sets 7-6(2), 6-4, expressed regret over his friend's injury but shifted focus to his upcoming match against either Tomas Machac or Roman Safiullin. This victory makes Fils the youngest Frenchman to reach the third round at Wimbledon since 2005. Hurkacz's exit follows early departures of other top seeds Andrey Rublev and Casper Ruud.
