Match recap

Jesper De Jong defeated Rinky Hijikata 7(7)-6(4), 3-6, 5-7, 6-4, 6-3 in the R128 of the Wimbledon 2026.

The error column nearly cost him: Jesper De Jong coughed up 51 unforced errors to Rinky Hijikata's 39, yet his 19 aces against Hijikata's nine and a 75% first-serve-points-won mark kept the margins his way.
