Márton Fuchsovics and Fábián Marozsán were both among the best 64 at the All England Club Championship and the Grand Grand Slamen, and two Hungarian players have not been able to win the men at the same time at the Open. Most recently in 1953, István Sikorszki and Zoltán Katona took the first obstacle-it was interesting that four Hungarians started for the men 72 years ago, but the legendary József Asbóth (semi-finals in 1948) and Antal Jancsó lost between 128.
In the history of The Championship (The Championships) since 1873, a total of 17 Hungarian players have been able to win matches for men (details in the table below). Béla Kehrling won a total of 15 games from 1925 and played a quarter-final in 1929. József Asbóth first started in Wimbledon in 1939 and marched to the semi-finals in 1948. They are followed by Márton Fuchsovics and Balázs Taróczy.
On Wednesday, the program started with a break in Wimbledon and the time was refreshed after Monday -Toddi, with almost 15 degrees cooler. We could explain the extreme weather that a record number of highlighted in the first round. There are 64 highlights for women and men, and 23 have fallen from them, which is unprecedented in Wimbledon, as well as the fact that 13 were raised by the end of the second day. It was not much to be more shocking: Carlos Alcaraz, Taylor Fritz and Felix Auger-Aliassime survived the introduction in a five-set battle.
It didn’t mean winning the ATP or WTA race in the three weeks before Wimbledon: six of the 11 champions also finished at the All England Club- Tatjana Maria (WTA 500, Queens), Alexander Bublik (ATP 500, Halle), Jessica Pegula (WTA 500, Bad Homburg), McCartney Kessler (WTA 250, WTA 250 Nottingham), Maya Joint (WTA 250, Eastbourne), Tallon Griekspoor (ATP 250, Mallorca).

It would be difficult to determine what the biggest sensation to date was. Roland Garros champion, 2nd high-ranked Coco Gauff defeat against Dayana Yastremska? You can actually get it from Ukrainian, if you have a good day, it is dangerous to anyone. Jessica Pegula’s smooth failure (2: 6, 3: 6)? The Italian Elisabetta Cocciatoto is not a famous giant but the third highlighted American is not a real giant. Alexander Zverev (3rd), Danyiil Medvedev (9th), Holger Rune (8th) and Stefanos cicipas (24) have been running for some time.
Lorenzo Musetti (7th) has recently been very evenly, and last year he reached the semi -finals in Wimbledon, so his fall is probably the most surprising against Nikoloz Basilashvili from the qualifiers. Let’s also mention Alexander Bublik (28), who beat Jannik Sinner in Halé two weeks ago and won the whole race. Kazakh’s loss can be explained with his personality and lifestyle, and let us not forget that Jaume Munar has played a sensational match with Carlos Alcarazz at the Queen’s Club competition and can always be able to play a match.
One certain corridors have opened on the board for women and men, the question will be able to take advantage of the rare opportunity. Below is the results of the Hungarian men’s tennis players in Wimbledon, who won at least one match on the main board.
