Dani Mérida has made his debut at Wimbledon 2026 with a victory against Camilo Ugo Carabelli, conditioned by an injury to the Argentine tennis player, who had to retire in the fourth set after slipping in the second set when he was clearly dominating the match. In this way, the Spanish tennis player advances to the second round at the All England Club for the first time in his career.

Camilo Ugo Carabelli was 6-4 5-0 ahead when he suffered a very bad slip.

As a consequence, he ended up retiring, causing Dani Mérida to advance directly to the second round at #Wimbledon.

Carabelli was clearly dominating the match in the first two sets. However, when he was leading 6-4 5-0, he suffered a very bad slip that would be crucial for the outcome of the match. He still managed to win the second set 6-3, but his movements were severely restricted and after losing the third set 6-2, he had to retire with a 3-0 deficit in the fourth set. A tough blow for him, and much luck for Mérida, who wasn't playing his best match.

A Day Full of Slips at Wimbledon

Chwalinska, Carabelli, Sinner... Many players are experiencing slips on the first day of Wimbledon. As the days go by, the court dries, and these incidents are not as common, but in the early rounds, this won't be the first nor the last time we see them. In Sinner's case, it didn't force him to retire, but Chwalisnka had a turned-around match she had won after that, while Carabelli experienced a similar situation shortly after. Now Mérida will face the winner of the match between Daniil Medvedev and Marin Cilic.
