The eighth time was the charm for Pablo Carreño who finally secures his first victory at Wimbledon. The Spaniard, who seems to have been reborn in these last months after reaching the Roland Garros quarterfinals, adds his first success on the London grass after Denis Shapovalov's injury, with the score showing 6-3, 7-6(9) in favor of the Asturian. In this way, he breaks his curse at the third Grand Slam of the year, but in the second round, he faces again his Parisian nemesis, Rafa Jódar, who defeated Felix Gill in his debut by 6-3, 6-3, 7-5.

Pablo Carreño and Rafa Jódar to meet again at Wimbledon 2026

This will be the second duel between the two Spaniards in less than a month. Both left a memorable match at Roland Garros, with Carreño taking a two-set lead until his injured shoulder gave in, allowing Jódar from Leganés to seize the opportunity to come back and win 4-6, 4-6, 6-1, 6-2, 6-2. What was seen in that match may be replicated next Wednesday, albeit with faster conditions and fewer exchanges. Both rely on their serves as their best weapon, and the one who capitalizes on situations and plays better in crucial moments will claim victory.

The victory of Pablo Carreño over Denis Shapovalov at Wimbledon 2026 moves him up seven spots in the ATP ranking to provisionally place him at number 64 in the world. Although the player from Gijón has already made it clear that his main focus for the second part of the season lies in the American hardcourt swing, where he has always shown his best results with a Masters 1000 in Canada title and two US Open semifinals in 2017 and 2020.
