Wimbledon MS Q3: Meet Your Qualifiers (1/2)

Wimbledon qualifying rounds, illustration (📸 CNN)

The condensed version in a Twitter thread can be found here.

After a grueling competition spanning 2 rounds, the Wimbledon Championships' qualifying rounds in Roehampton wrapped up with 16 best-of-five matches playing simultaneously. These qualifiers might be dangerous, but before the draw is made, it is not proper if the qualifiers are yet to be met. Therefore, before freaking out "Who are they and what are they doing to the favorites" yet again, here are some summaries from the last qualification round.

They are written in the order they advance. Beware, this is probably another long read.

Section 3: Zizou Bergs [3] def. Denis Yevseyev 6-1, 6-2, 6-2

One of the most in-form seeds, third seed Zizou Bergs, advanced to the third qualifying round after defeating Omar Jasika and Pierre-Hugues Herbert, the latter in the most scenic route possible (6-3, 6-7(4), 6-4). He faced Denis Yevseyev, who stunned 28th seed Titouan Droguet 6-4, 7-6(3) in the second qualifying round, as well as defeating Matteo Martineau in three tight sets. This match turned out to be a masterclass from Z. Bergs, where he scored an almost flawless performance throughout the match.

The third seed began this match with an early break, followed by a running forehand to generate his one-point lead before serving the first-set breadstick (6-1). His dominance continued through the second set as he took it 6-2, and somehow found his way breaking for the match thanks to his forehand winner as D. Yevseyev's balance went completely off, also taking the third set 6-2 to confirm his spot in the main draw.

Section 4: Mark Lajal def. James Duckworth [4] 6-4, 6-4, 6-4

Mark Lajal's point to *3-3 40-40 (1st deuce), 1st set (📸 Wimbledon qualifications feed)

One of the notable fast-court/indoor goats, Mark Lajal, despite having a questionable hard-court form back in the first portion of the Asian Challenger swing earlier this year, the Estonian had a decent grass-court season as he made it through the second qualifying rounds of the Surbiton and Nottingham Challengers, but he could not make it to the main draw, somehow finding himself defeating Francesco Passaro and Henrique Rocha in the two qualifying rounds. In contrast, fourth seed James Duckworth had more experience as he qualified for Halle (500) despite the loss to Hubert Hurkacz in the second round.

While this match was expected to be a tough, possible servefest at best, it turned out to come down to several crucial rallies. For instance, after a preceding unforced error, M. Lajal's forehand down-the-line error secured an important deuce before the Estonian broke to 4-3, followed by a consolidation to 5-3. While M. Lajal took the first set 6-4, J. Duckworth took a medical timeout midway, but despite his best efforts to stay competitive, he fell short in the exemplified said moments. As a result, M. Lajal became the first Estonian to qualify for a Grand Slam main draw since Jurgen Zopp became the lucky loser in the Roland Garros 2018, where he was eliminated in the third round against Maximilian Marterer.

Section 7: Quentin Halys def. Beibit Zhukayev 6-3, 6-4, 6-4

Quentin Halys' point to 3-3* 30-40, 2nd set (📸 Wimbledon qualifications feed)

Quentin Halys might have had a questionable form within the past year, but he tried to salvage it in the Wimbledon qualifying rounds a year after taking a set off Jannik Sinner (in the third round) as he defeated seventh seed Gregoire Barrere 6-3, 6-4 and survived a three-setter against wild card Jay Clarke 6-3, 3-6, 6-3, and faced a decent test in Beibit Zhukayev, who stunned Jurij Rodionov 7-6(5), 7-6(7) and 17th seed Hamad Medjedovic 6-7(3), 7-5, 6-4 in the second qualifying round. Staying aggressive on return while maintaining service game consistency became important in this match, and it proved itself as the match progressed.

After taking the first set 6-3, the Frenchman tried to stay consistent as he was spotted finishing his shots down the line: a forehand one that got B. Zhukayev ran over from his forehand side to minimize the gap, followed by a timely backhand down-the-line winner before he broke due to another unforced error from the unseeded Kazakh. By then, Q. Halys broke to 4-3 and strengthened his position with a service game hold straight away, where he successfully took the second set 6-4 right after, with a similar process from his groundstrokes neutralized B. Zhukayev's usually effective first serve to take the third set 6-4, securing his spot once again in the main draw as a result.

Section 14: Elias Ymer def. Sho Shimabukuro 7-6(5), 6-3, 6-1

Elias Ymer's point to force another deuce at *0-0, 2nd set (left) and to set up his set point to 5-3* 15-40, also in the 2nd set (right) (📸 Wimbledon qualification feed)

Despite struggling to find his form back, Elias Ymer started to rebuild his form by reaching the Oeiras 4 Challenger final back on clay (l. Jaime Faria) and has tried to maintain his form since. He defeated Lukas Neumayer in straight sets in the first two qualifying rounds before fighting thick and thin to defeat Marco Trungelliti 6-7(4), 6-4, 6-2 in an entertaining encounter. E. Ymer then faced Sho Shimabukuro, who also made the cut last year and notably made it to the second round of the Surbiton Challenger (l. Leandro Riedi), as well as having a competitive first-round exit against Cameron Norrie in the Nottingham (grass) Challenger as a qualifier before stunning 14th seed Jozef Kovalik and recent Sassuolo Challenger champion Jesper de Jong in both qualifying rounds.

E. Ymer initially had a neat start to the match as he brought S. Shimabukuro to the tie-breaker, ultimately taking the first set 7-6(4) despite starting the tie-breaker in an unideal manner (with a double fault), recovering the mini-break deficit through his groundstrokes (mostly through his forehand side) before setting up the mini-break through S. Shimabukuro's forehand mishit. The Swede had not looked back since, taking the first set 7-6(5) before scoring a backhand down-the-line winner to force another deuce before breaking early to 1-0 to start the second set. Eventually, E. Ymer outhit S. Shimabukuro through his occasional slices in between his forehands, breaking for the second set 6-3 before dominating the third set that ended with a breadstick (6-1) to secure his third Wimbledon main draw qualification after 2015 & 2022.

Section 10: Alejandro Moro Canas def. Damir Dzumhur 7-6(6), 6-4, 0-1 ret.

Alejandro Moro Canas' point to create his break points in the first game of the second set, with the earlier (left) and the later (right) attempts (📸 Wimbledon qualification feed)

Alejandro Moro Canas started to prove himself to be an all-around player (outside of his usual clay and occasionally hard-court prowess), continuing his form after winning the Rome (Italy) Challenger during the clay season, followed by qualifying for the main draw of Roland Garros (d. Mattia Bellucci). For the Challenger-level grass season, he made it as far as the second qualifying round of the Ilkley Challenger (l. M. Tomas Barrios Vera) before stunning Joao Fonseca 4-6, 6-3, 7-6(10) in a topsy-turvy match, followed by 29th Matteo Gigante 7-5, 6-2 in the first two qualifying rounds. On the other hand, 10th seed Damir Dzumhur defeated Tristan Schoolkate and Nick Hardt to make it to the third qualifying round despite his first-round loss to Joris de Loore back in Ilkley.

However, the likely physical first two sets already took a toll on the 10th seed throughout the match. A. Moro Canas then successfully took the first set 7-6(5) despite being comebacked when he should have served for the first set at 5-3, ultimately mini-breaking for the set thanks to his timely forehand winner. A working volley to Dzumhur's drop shot also secured A. Moro Canas' earlier break point to start the second set, but even though it was foiled, the Spaniard created another one through a forehand winner, which was successfully converted, and he had not looked back since. There was several close-call-related chaos midway, but the physicality of this game prompted Dzumhur to retire despite holding the first game to start the third set (1-0), sending A. Moro Canas to another Grand Slam main draw appearance.

Section 6: Lucas Pouille def. Luca van Assche [6] 7-6(4), 7-5, 6-2

Lucas Pouille's point to *5-2 40-40 (break point save) in the third set as he served for the match (📸 Wimbledon qualifications feed)

Despite some questions surrounding his comeback and inability to catch a break, Lucas Pouille got himself together in this year's Wimbledon qualification rounds and convincingly defeated British sensation Jack Pinnington Jones 6-0, 6-3 in the first qualifying rounds before stunning Jiri Vesely 7-6(6), 6-2 in a classic encounter. The third qualifying round became an all-French generational battle as he faced sixth seed Luca van Assche, who defeated both Jules Marie and Li Tu in three sets, with the third set being brought into a (match) tie-breaker.

This match turned out to test their range consistency, which became evident toward the end of the match.

Section 12: Cristian Garin [12] def. Timofey Skatov 6-2, 7-5, 6-3

Cristian Garin's point to break 4-2 in the 1st set (📸 Wimbledon qualifications feed)

Having to miss last year's Wimbledon due to his injuries, 12th seed and 2022 quarterfinalist Cristian Garin was determined to be back on track despite his questionable form throughout the past few years. Here, he defeated Enzo Couacaud 7-6(5), 7-5 in the first qualifying round before defeating M. Tomas Barrios Vera 2-6, 6-2, 6-0 in an all-Chilean battle, facing Timofey Skatov in the final qualifying round as the latter defeated Andrea Pellegrino 6-3, 6-3 and stunned 26th seed Lukas Klein 7-6(6), 7-6(5) in the first two qualifying rounds.

Somehow, although this match was thought to be slightly more competitive, C. Garin turned out to dominate from his forehand side as he capitalized on T. Skatov's previous second-serve errors, utilizing his cross-court forehand to break 4-2 before he held his serves to 5-2. The Chilean ultimately broke for the first set 6-2, and even though T. Skatov tried to raise his level in the second set, C. Garin cleaned up his act to finally take the second set 7-5 and continued his form as he took the third set 6-3 to secure his main draw qualification round for another occasion.

Section 1: Maxime Janvier def. Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard [1] 6-7(10), 7-5, 7-6(4), 7-6(5)

Maxime Janvier's points to 6-6(6-4, first set point save) in the first set and to *4-2 40-ad to create a break point in the second set (📸 Wimbledon qualification feed)

After his Stuttgart (250) and Queen's Club (500) breakthrough, both eliminated in the first and second round as a qualifier, respectively, first seed Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard carried on his breakthrough season with straight-set victories over Ugo Blanchet and Antoine Escoffier. Somehow, he found himself facing another, more experienced Frenchman in Maxime Janvier, who defeated Yu-Hsiou Hsu 7-5, 6-3 and knocked out 30th seed Emilio Nava 7-6(1), 6-3 to secure the third qualifying round appearance.

Interestingly, this match became another rollercoaster coming down to Gio's second serves and some follow-up returns. M. Janvier tried to exert more pressure through his passes to prolong the first set even if the first seed took it 7-6(10), but the former managed to come back from 1-4 down in the second set as he brought Gio off-balance thanks to his slightly deep returns, passing the latter through his forehand (and a forehand return ace beforehand) before breaking back to 4-3 several games later. Ultimately, frequent double faults and a forehand error resulted in M. Janvier taking the second set 7-5, and he started nailing these moments for the next two sets, nailing the thinnest margins as he took the third set 7-6(4) due to Gio's failed drop shot, and generating his match point through the first seed's +1 backhand error before finally taking the whole match, securing his maiden Grand Slam-level qualification for the main draw after receiving a wild card to compete in Roland Garros' first rounds between 2018-2020.

中波台維斯盃》吳東霖關鍵第五點勝利 中華隊2025再返世界組總決賽資格戰

2024中波台維斯盃世界一級賽事（2024 Davis Cup World Group I - TPE vs BIH），今(15日) 於臺北市網球中心進行第二天賽程，首日雙方1比1戰平後，今第3點雙打許育修／何承叡雖然順利拿下後取得領先，但第4點曾俊欣再度吞敗，打到第5點才靠著吳東霖的重砲發球拿下關鍵點，最終才以3比2驚險力挫來訪的波士尼亞，拿下世界一級臺灣主場的歷史性首勝，並取得明年再度挑戰世界組總決賽資格戰的席位！

中波之戰首日雙方戰成1比1平手，今天第3點雙打之戰相當關鍵，兩邊都把第2單擺在雙打陣容中，中華隊第2單打許育修與目前臺灣男雙排名最高第130何承叡組合，對上波士尼亞第2、3單打法蒂奇(Nerman Fatic，世界第267)／巴西奇(Mirza Basic，世界第579)組合，大會賽前也特別請出臺灣雙榮時代的前臺灣球王、前台維斯盃國手巫長榮出席開球，頗有世代傳承的味道。

許育修／何承叡自2022年台維斯盃對香港之戰再度合拍，兩人在雙打的默契明顯更優於對手，兩盤只被對手拿到3個破發點，全都順利保住所有的發球局下，第一盤第4局、第二盤第5局兩個關鍵破發下，順利以6比3、6比4獲勝，助中華隊先取得2比1聽牌的優勢。

許育修／何承叡兩人對這場比賽覺得滿意，何承叡透露，「其實我們的比賽從前一天晚上就開始，盧哥(總教練盧彥勳)召集我們開會討論制定戰術，心理師也給予我很大的幫助。」何承叡坦承過去有容易緊張的毛病，「但心理師幫我分析了個人或國家名義來比賽上心態的差別，過去我會害怕讓大家失望，但今天我有勇敢的做自己！」

許育修捨單打而專注於雙打，他說：「前陣子我賽事比較密集，身體也有點狀況，這次到這裡看到俊欣和東霖的狀況都比我好，特別是東霖，而我若想兼顧單雙打，反而有可能會影響到雙打，事實證明，這是最好的選擇，今天我們有顧好發球局，然後去找對手破發的機會。」

中華隊第三點雙打何承叡和許育修攜手拿下勝利

但可惜的是第4點單打中、波兩國現役球員排名最高的球員對決，世界第123曾俊欣對上世界第86的祖赫(Damir Dzumhur)，曾俊欣雖然首盤先以4比6讓出；第二盤一度以6比2扳平；可惜第三盤在1比0時，第3、5局接連遭到破發後連續被對手打下5局，曾俊欣最終以2比6落敗，雙方再戰至2比2平手。

中華隊第四點單打曾俊欣苦戰三盤惜敗

中波大戰激戰至最後1點來決定勝負，中華隊由前一天打出霸氣表現的世���第318吳東霖對上前一天曾打敗曾俊欣的世界第579、33歲老將巴西奇(Mirza Basic)，後者個人世界排名最高曾到第74(2018年)，並且曾在2021年還以6比3、6比2打敗吳東霖。

但吳東霖延續首日高昂的鬥志，完全發揮他的強勢發球風格，第一盤第2、4局連續破發，僅在第3局面臨唯一的破發點危機，但他也靠著強力發球化解，一開始就連續拿下5局，首盤輕鬆以6比1拿下。

中華隊第五點單打吳東霖收下關鍵勝利

第二盤，吳東霖在第1局又率先破發；但對手在第4局反擊，首度破��吳東霖的發球局，雙方2比2平手；第6局吳東霖發球局再度出現危機，從0比40落後下，成功化解了3個破發點後才驚險保發；最關鍵出現在第9局，吳東霖掌握了對手的第2個破發點後關鍵破發，接著第10局順利保發後，最終成功以6比4拿下勝利，助中華隊以3比2力克波士尼亞，中華隊獲勝後開心的在場內慶祝，除了互噴礦泉水、互相擁抱，最後不忘列隊向到場加油的球迷鞠躬致謝。

中華隊賽後共同慶祝勝利

初次擔任中華隊總教練的前臺灣一哥盧彥勳賽後也覺得與有榮焉，他說：「所有的東西都在預期內，兩隊都在五五波，就如先前提到雙打這一勝佔了很關鍵的地位，我要感謝團隊的同心協力，也謝謝網協願意配合我們組成這一支甚至包含助理教練、防護員和心理師的前所未有的團隊的努力，照顧到選手的每一個部份，球員的表現也讓我很感動，我相信他們若能維持這樣的表現，帶到職業賽場，肯定會幫助更加提升他們的世界排名。」

中華隊總教練盧彥勳表示本場勝利屬於整個團隊

個人在單打贏得兩場比賽的勝利功臣吳東霖說：「從我一開始到這裡時，就有感覺可能會在第5點上場，很高興在天時地利人和下，能打出最好的表現，這也是我們臺灣網球團隊的勝利，希望明年2月的資格賽可以再於主場來打進世界組！」

中華隊2025年再返世界組總決賽資格戰

Maia Ch F: Damir Dzumhur [3] def. Francesco Passaro [4] 6-4, 6-3 Match Stats

📸 ATP official website

F. Passaro tried his best to step up as the second set started, but D. Dzumhur shifted the moment again right away when he found his forehand to break back. Since then, he tried to press the former's baseline game further, which caused the Italian fourth seed to succumb to the scoreboard pressure toward the end of the match. As a result, even if F. Passaro converted 100% of his 2 break points, D. Dzumhur still generated 10 break points in the whole match thanks to his intuitive play in constructing his points.

Despite D. Dzumhur's almost flawless showing, it appeared that both players had distinct service game strengths throughout this match. The third seed somehow won 12% more of his first serve points than F. Passaro with 62% even though the latter scored 2 aces trying to avoid more trouble. However, the Italian fourth seed had the slight edge on his second serves by 1%, winning 58% of his second serve points thanks to his brief decent setup of the second set.

This marked D. Dzumhur's sixth Challenger-level title of the year, putting his name as the seventh person who won six or more Challenger titles in the same year, while he won the most Challenger titles of this year as well. In the post-match interview with the Portuguese Tennis Federation, he cited to keep going as he will be open to various possibilities to strengthen his rejuvenated form. What a moment for him after 3-4 years hanging on after the loss of form during the peak pandemic!

中波台維斯盃》吳東霖直落二扳倒百大高手 首日雙方一比一平手

第一盤，曾俊欣首局輕鬆���發，但第3局就先被逼出2破發點、率先遭到破發，幸好第4局回破，第5局又化解了2破發點後驚險保發；最後第8局關鍵破發後，連續拿下3 局以6比3先拿下首盤。但不料第二盤後段，曾俊欣的發球局屢屢遭到挑戰，第4局又先被破發後，雖然第5局立刻回破，可是第6局又被拿到3個破發點二度被破發，一度以2比5落後，雖然曾俊欣在第8局非破不可的一局，如願順利回破追成5比5，但無奈第12局又第三度被破發，以5比7被對手扳回一盤平手。

關鍵第三盤，曾俊欣的發球局仍險象環生，第6局0-40再被對方拿到3個破發點後，雖然曾俊欣連拿5分驚險保發，但力拼到第10局發球局，可惜遭到關鍵破發後，最終以4比6落敗引恨讓出第1點。

曾俊欣賽後表示，「第一盤掌握了對手幾個發球失誤，並且在第二發造成對手的壓力，但第二盤我的一發進球率掉太多，被對手掌握攻擊我的二發做攻擊，並且在二、三盤關鍵時太過於保守，很多關鍵分我應該更加主動，結果又被對手救回來。」

波赫隊巴西奇(Mirza Basic)三盤逆轉勝

幸好接續登場的第2點由世界第318吳東霖單挑波士尼亞一哥、世界排名第86的祖赫，後者曾在2018排名曾達到世界第23，並且擁有在澳網、法網和美網五度打進大滿貫男單第三輪的紀錄，上周才剛打下伊斯坦堡挑戰賽單打冠軍，整體近況相當火燙。

但今天吳東霖氣勢凌人，發球強勢，第一盤從一開始第1局就順利破發，接著在第7局又二度破發，先以6比2拿下首盤，氣得祖赫頻頻在球場上念念有詞；第二盤，吳東霖第1局又再度破發，雖然第3局浪費了1個破發點，並且在第4局一度面臨兩個破發點下，幸好都被吳東霖成功化解，取得3比1領先後，吳東霖氣勢大振，接著在第5、7局又接連破發下，連續拿下4局後以6比1拿下勝利，為中華隊搶下寶貴的1點。

「有點意外！」吳東霖賽後說：「對手資歷好，特別在俊欣之後，我就告訴自己要把狀況調整到最好，真要要感謝上級把國家訓練站設在這裡，我們平常都在這裡練習，若下雨就會進到室內訓練，對這個場地算是非常熟悉，感覺自己打的很順，很榮幸可以對上最強的對手，我自己也獲得很多的回饋。」

而客場的波士尼亞總教練茲爾尼克(Zoran Zrnic)也說：「今天的戰況確實有點出乎意料之外，但這就是台維斯盃，常常會有低排名打敗高排名的結果，祖赫的臀部有傷，今天他是覺得場地有點滑，個人發揮的並不理想。」但茲爾尼克特別點名稱讚吳東霖說：「他打得很好，發球很有威脅性，在底線的移動也很好，表現有超乎預期之外，他值得拿下這一場的勝利。」

波赫隊一哥祖赫(Damir Dzumhur)出師不利
