Zverev Faces Valentin Royer in Wimbledon Second Round

Fresh from his first Grand Slam title, he must recover from a taxing opening match to try to advance further than he ever has at Wimbledon.

Overview

  • Zverev reached the second round after a hard-fought four-set win in the first round that included three tiebreaks and left him visibly drained.
  • He is scheduled to meet Valentin Royer, a roughly world No. 75 Frenchman who has progressed further at this Wimbledon than last year and lost their only previous tour-level meeting in Shanghai.
  • German viewers can only watch Wimbledon through the paid Amazon Prime Video service, which is offering up to eight court streams, set daily start times, and a German expert commentary team including Andrea Petkovic, Angelique Kerber and Tommy Haas.
  • Zverev arrives in London buoyed by his recent French Open victory but carries a long-standing Wimbledon record that has never included a quarterfinal appearance.
  • What to watch next: Zverev’s physical recovery from the tight opener will shape his chances, and a win would strengthen his momentum from Paris while a loss would be a notable upset at the grass major.
