What used to be Comanche territory has gradually turned into a field of opportunities for Spanish tennis players over the years. The grass at Wimbledon is no longer a hostile territory for national players, and despite Alcaraz's absence, this first day at the All England Lawn Tennis Club has been a complete success for Spanish tennis players.

Of the 8 representatives of the Armada who started their journey this Monday at Wimbledon 2026 (including both men and women), a total of 6 have advanced to the second round, with only two eliminated. The defeats of Roberto Bautista against Fonseca, and Martín Landaluce against Kwon, have prevented a clean sweep that would have been historic for Spanish tennis. 

Particularly significant were the victories of Sara Sorribes and Jessica Bouzas, leading to two national players advancing to the second round, something increasingly less common in recent Grand Slams. The veteran from Castellón defeated Jiménez Kasintseva, now facing Pegula, while the Galician managed to surprise Anisimova, setting up a match against Yastremska. If both could continue their good form, they would meet in the third round.

There will be at least one Spanish player in the third round of Wimbledon 2026

This will be the case for Pablo Carreño and Rafael Jódar, ensuring a Spanish representative in the third round of the men's draw. In addition, Dani Mérida will try to surprise Medvedev, while Alejandro Davidovich avoided the post-Mallorca success slump with a resounding victory over Juan Manuel Cerúndolo, setting up a second-round match against the always dangerous Fabian Marozsan.

Overall, a great day for Spanish tennis at Wimbledon 2026, coping with Alcaraz's absence with the usual depth in talent that has been a hallmark for years and seemed to be in danger of fading. There are still key players to enter the competition in both the men's and women's lower brackets, such as Munar, Llamas, Badosa, or Selekhmeteva.
