Roman Safiullin eliminated João Fonseca in the second round of Wimbledon 2026 without dropping a set. The Russian entered the tournament through qualifying and controlled the match throughout, advancing in the draw at the All England Club.

Safiullin dictated all three sets from start to finish. Fonseca found no opening on the London grass and created no clear opportunities to shift the scoreline — the Russian closed out each set before tension could take hold.

No room for the Brazilian

Fonseca arrived at Wimbledon 2026 as one of the circuit’s young prospects but struggled to establish himself in the fast grass-court conditions. At no point did the Brazilian generate the openings needed to mount a comeback.

Safiullin advances to the third round, where his opponent will be determined by the draw.
