Alexander Zverev def. Alexander Blockx 6-4, 6(8)-7(10), 7(7)-6(5), 7(7)-6(0) — Wimbledon 2026 R128

Match recap

Alexander Zverev defeated Alexander Blockx 6-4, 6(8)-7(10), 7(7)-6(5), 7(7)-6(0) in the R128 of the Wimbledon 2026.

Three sets ended in tiebreaks and a match this tight came down to who took his chances on return: Alexander Zverev converted 2 of 5 break points (40%) to Alexander Blockx's 1 of 4 (25%), the slim edge that decided a 4-6 7-6(8) 6-7(5) 6-7(0) grind. Blockx stole the early break in game 2 of the opener but never broke again until the fourth set, where the trade in games 5 and 6 reset everything for one more breaker — Zverev's third in a row. Margins, not separation: 146 points to 129 across a match where both men hit 46 winners, but Blockx's 35 unforced errors to Zverev's 27 left the cushion. It extends Zverev's H2H to 3-0, their first meeting on grass.
