It is undoubtedly the poster of the day between the Italian Matteo Berrettini, struggling for many months, but in full revival on the grass of Church Road and the world number one Carlos Alcaraz who continues his accelerated learning on grass. The firepower of the finalist of the 2021 edition could pose big problems for the Spaniard who displayed certain limits against Nicolas Jarry in the 3rd round.

Before this 2023 edition, Jiri Lehecka had never won a match on the grass of Wimbledon. From ancient history. 3rd-round fall of 16-seeded Tommy Paul (6-2, 7-6 [2], 6-7 [5], 6-7 [9], 6-2) could well pose problems for Russian Daniil Medvedev, seeded 3, this Monday in the round of 16. Lehecka, 37th player in the world, became the fourth player since 2010 to have managed to qualify in the second week of two Grand Slam tournaments in the same season without being seeded after Anderson (2017), Khachanov (2018) and Fucsovics ( 2020). The protege of Tomas Berdych had revealed himself at the last Australian Open, reaching the quarter-finals.

In millions of euros, the total amount of prizes for the 2023 edition (44.7 million pounds). A record high of and an 11.2 per cent increase from 2022, the All England Lawn Tennis Club (AELTC) has announced. The winners and runners-up of the men’s and women’s singles finals will also see their prize money increase from previous levels in 2019, where they received £2.35m and £1.175m respectively. The winners’ prize pool fell to £1.7m in 2021, before being raised to £2m last year.

We don’t mess with the tradition of white attire in the Temple of Tennis. Roger Federer, eight-time winner, himself, had been called to order. In 2013, during his second round against the Romanian Victor Hanescu, the Swiss wore shoes with orange soles. Not to the taste of the organizers since, “players at Wimbledon must be dressed almost entirely in white”, recalled a spokesperson for the venerable London tournament. The Maestro therefore had to leave his orange soles in the locker room.
