Wimbledon 2026 Men’s Day 6

Second seed Alexander Zverev joined celebrated German compatriots Boris Becker and MIchael Stich in the record books as the second seed advanced to the fourth round at Wimbledon on Saturday.

Zverev’s 6-2, 7-6 (3), 6-4 defeat of Marcos Giron thrusts the 29-year-old into the trio of overachievers who have reached the second week here on four or more occasions.

The June French Open titleholder needed just 90 minutes to polish off the opening stwo sets against his American opposition  

He had to work harder in the third, breaking in the final game to advance on his first match point during his 10th Wimbledon appearance.

“He plays well on grass so I had to be100 percent ready on the first point,” the winner said. “I’m happy to be through in straight sets.

“I’m lying on my serve in the most important moments, especially on the grass. I want to keep going and play a lot more great matches out here.”

Zverev next gets Jiri Lehecka, who beat Jaume Munar of Spain 6-4, 6-4, 4-6, 6-4.

The German is into his 25th round of 16 at a major and has won 13 of his last 14 matches.

Fifth seed Alex de MInaur kept his nearly-clean slate with a 6-2, 5-7, 6-2, 6-4 defeat of Zach Svajda.

The Australian has advanced to the second week here for a third straight time while losing just one set along the way. The third set was littered with six service breaks in eight games.

“I thought it was a high-quality match,” the winner said. “Zach is an immensely talented player, and made my life very, very difficult.

“I’m happy that I was able to stay strong mentally and keep my level throughout the third and fourth sets.

“That was key to the win today.” 

De Minaur will play his 15th fourth-round match at a Grand Slam after achieving his 27th win of the season.

Ninth-seeded Roland Garros finalist Flavio Cobolli needed four hours to defeat Karen Khachanov, with the Italian posting a 0-6, 7-6 (4), 6-7 (5), 6-2, 6-2 result.

Arthur Fery hurrying on through a late-match nosebleed to salvage British pride with a four-and-a quarter-hour win over Belgian Zizou Bergs 2-6, 7-5, 2-6, 7-6 (3), 7-6 (10-8).
