Safiullin Knocks Out Moutet
Roman Safiullin’s impressive Wimbledon debut continued as the Russian marched into the third round with a straight sets win over France’s Corentin Moutet. Thanks to the victory this is now the world no. 92’s best ever showing at a Grand Slam.
The 25-year-old won 79% points on his first serve and struck 43 winners on his way to a 7-5, 6-3, 7-6 (7-4) victory in two hours and 52 minutes.
The world no. 71 Moutet gave him a tough fight throughout the contest but just couldn’t win a set. Safiullin saved 5 of 9 break points and converted 6 of 15 to keep his chances alive in the tournament.
He had a survived an even difficult contest in the first round, upsetting no. 20 seed Roberto Bautista Agut 2-6, 7-6 (9-7), 6-7 (4-7), 6-4, 7-5 in four hours and eight minutes.
Safiullin, who reached the third round in Madrid and Rome, had won the Koblenz Challenger this year. He has improved to 7-3 on grass this season, but four of those wins came in qualifying rounds in Halle and Mallorca.
Can he make it to the fourth round with a win on Friday?

Pella Ousts Mayot
2019 quarterfinalist Guido Pella bounced back after dropping the first set to knock out France’s Harold Mayot in the second round on Thursday.
The world no. 308, who missed the entire 2022 season, has now won consecutive matches for the first time since Cincinnati 2021. The 33-year-old was outplayed by the world no. 181 in the first set, but he rebounded in the second by getting an early break and then protecting the lead till the end of the set.
Pella then went 2-1 up after taking the third in the tiebreak. Mayot began teh fourth set with a break though, however the experienced Argentine got back the break in the eighth game and then got another break in the final game to seal a 2-6, 6-3, 7-6 (7-3), 7-5 victory.
Pella had pulled off a massive upset in the first round, defeating the 13th seed Borna Coric 6-3, 7-5, 4-6, 3-6, 6-1.
Thanks to the two wins, Pella improved his season record to 8-9 and his grass court record to 3-1 in 2023.
This is the third time that he has reached at least the third round at Wimbledon in what is his sixth attempt. Can he keep charging towards another quarterfinal?
Safiullin v Pella Prediction and Tip
Pella is the more experienced player and his previous Wimbledon experience, particularly the last eight finish in 2019, could come in handy in the third round contest. But Safiullin has been more consistent this year and will be looking to keep the momentum going after the bright start. Expect a close contest with the Russian edging past the Aurgentine.
Tips:
- Low Risk Tip: Safiullin to win: 4/7
- Moderate Risk Tip: Over 38.5 games in the match: 5/6
