Match recap

Alexander Bublik defeated Thanasi Kokkinakis 4-6, 6-3, 6(10)-7(12), 6-3, 6-4 in the R128 of the Wimbledon 2026.

Down the opening set and staring at a third-set tiebreak that ran to 7-6(10), the No. 492-ranked Kokkinakis had a fifth-seeded scalp in reach — then the return game vanished. Alexander Bublik converted 3 of 9 break points to Thanasi Kokkinakis's 1 of 6, and the gap widened where it mattered: Bublik broke twice late in the fourth and again in game five of the decider. The error count carried it — 27 unforced to Kokkinakis's 43 — as Bublik climbed out of the deficit at Wimbledon over 218 minutes.
