On the eve of Wimbledon 2025, Learner Tien had a bad momentum on the pitch. At the Mallorca Open last week, he defeated the world No. 10 player Ben Shelton to win tickets to the quarterfinals. After that, the American tennis player lost to Corentin Moutet after 2 sets.
This achievement helps Tien add a lot of confidence for the first time to participate in the Wimbledon main round. He did not disappoint fans when he had an impressive debut. Accordingly, 19-year-old player defeated Nishesh Basavareddy with a score of 7-6 (5), 6-3, 6-2 to officially win tickets to the second round.
This match, the two players created a quite intense game in Set 1 and had to pull together in a tie-break series. Tien's bravery was evident in the gun battle series when he won with a score of 7-5. Since then, American tennis players have gradually gained the upper hand, with accurate shots from the end of the pitch and the ability to read the game well, causing Basavareddy to constantly defend.
Sharing after the match, Tien said: “I think the pitch is quite suitable for me. At first it was a bit difficult, especially moving, especially when I had just moved from the ground to the ground.
I went to Stuttgart just two days before the first match, just in time to fight two sessions before playing. It is difficult to catch up immediately. However, each day passed, the more I play, the more I get used to it, especially in moving and handling the ball. Everything is becoming much easier. ”
Tien's next opponent is Nicolas Jarry – a player who has been in the top 20 in the world. Despite having to play from the qualifying round in this year's tournament, Jarry has just created a big shock when the No. 8 Holger Rune seed after the dramatic set. This match score is 4-6, 4-6, 7-5, 6-3, 6-4.
