3
Number of Top 10 wins that Victoria Azarenka owns in 2019. The two-time Wimbledon semi-finalist will look to make it four when she faces Simona Halap second up on Centre Court on Day 5. Azarenka has won her last 12 games, as she defeated Ajla Tomljanovic 6-2 6-0 after falling behind 2-0 on Day 3.
1991
Coco Gauff has become the youngest player to reach the third round at Wimbledon in 28 years. Jennifer Capriati reached the semi-finals in that year, losing to Gabriela Sabatini in the last four. Capriati also reached the round of 16 a year earlier before falling to Graf.
150
Gauff can crack the Top 150 with a win today. She entered Wimbledon at 313.
2008
The last time that two Russian players reached the round of 16 on the men’s singles side (Safin, Youzhny). Daniil Medvedev and Karen Khachanov will look to change that statistic today.
42
The number of players that have reached the second week at Wimbledon on their debut in the Open Era. Either Felix-Auger Aliassime or Ugo Humbert will become the 43rd, as they meet today on No.1 Court.
13
Number of return winners struck by Dayana Yastremska through two rounds. No player, ATP or WTA, has hit more. The Ukrainian will bid to reach the round of 16 at a major for the first time today when she meets Viktorija Golubic on No.12 Court.
4
Number of players that have reached the third round in singles without dropping serve. Kevin Anderson, Sam Querrey, Johanna Konta and Wang Qiang have all yet to be broken. Querrey (11/11) has faced the most break points of the four. Wang (1/1) has faced the least.
39
Number of forehand winners struck by Danielle Collins through two rounds, which leads all women at Wimbledon. Collins will face Petra Martic on Day 5. Thomas Fabbiano of Italy leads all men’s singles player with 58 forehand winners through two rounds. He’ll face Fernando Verdasco in Day 5.
9
Of the 54 different men’s singles Grand Slam champions in the Open Era, only nine have won their first major at Wimbledon (compared with 11 at the Australian Open, 21 at Roland Garros and 13 at the U.S. Open).
3
Number of teenagers that have reached the third round in singles at Wimbledon—Felix-Auger Aliassime, Coco Gauff and Dayana Yastremska.
67-10
Novak Djokovic’s lifetime record at Wimbledon. The World No.1 will bid to stretch his current Wimbledon winning streak to 10 on Day 5 when he faces Poland’s Herbert Hurkacz. Djokovic is hoping to reach the second week for the 12th time at Wimbledon.
