Roman Safiullin is a former Wimbledon quarterfinalist and arrives in the second round full of confidence after a stunning five-set victory over top-20 player Andrey Rublev. The Russian has been producing some very encouraging tennis in recent months, and his grass-court pedigree makes him a dangerous opponent when he finds his rhythm.
Botic van de Zandschulp, meanwhile, has struggled for consistency and often finds it difficult to recover once matches begin slipping away from him. Against an in-form opponent like Safiullin, that could prove costly.
Safiullin's Revival Faces Another Test
- Safiullin had not won a tour-level main-draw match in 2026 before this week.
- He holds a 2–0 record in Wimbledon second-round matches.
- Botic van de Zandschulp has a 1–4 record in Wimbledon second-round matches.
- He owns a 6–1 record against players outside the Top 100 in 2026.

Roman Safiullin Stuns Rublev at Wimbledon
Roman Safiullin produced one of the biggest upsets of the opening round at Wimbledon, saving two match points to defeat 12th seed Andrey Rublev 6-4, 6-7, 3-6, 6-3, 7-6. The Russian held his nerve in the deciding-set tie-break to book his place in the second round.
He has spent much of the season on the Challenger Tour, winning titles in Oeiras and Mauthausen before coming through the Wimbledon qualifying draw. His victory over Rublev was his first ATP Tour main-draw win since last year's US Open and the biggest win of his season.
Safiullin holds a 2-1 record in second-round matches at Wimbledon. His best result came in 2023 when he reached the quarterfinals, and he will now be looking to reach the third round here for the third time.
