Chun Hsin Tseng vs Aleksandar Vukic

🧠 Form & Context

• Chun Hsin Tseng
  🎾 Junior royalty: Wimbledon Boys’ Champion in 2018, but still searching for his first main-draw win at Slam level.
  🌱 Grass struggles: Only just earned his first grass-court win (over Blancaneaux in Eastbourne qualies) after starting 0–3 on the surface.
  📉 Tour adaptation woes: Physically fragile and hasn’t translated junior promise into main-tour consistency.
  🔄 Slam record: 0–5 in main draws, with two losses coming to fellow Aussie Popyrin.
  💡 Confidence fragile: Entering this match off two losses post-Blancaneaux, and hasn’t beaten a top-100 opponent on grass.
• Aleksandar Vukic
  🔁 Rollercoaster 2025: Hot start with a 3R at the Australian Open, but followed it up with a 12–21 record across all levels.
  📌 Slam grit: Beat Korda and nearly stunned Draper in Melbourne. Already owns five-set wins this year.
  🌱 Grass comfort: Qualified for both Queen’s and Eastbourne. Solid 4–4 on grass this season.
  ✅ Wimbledon reliability: 2–0 in Wimbledon first rounds, beating Altmaier and Ofner the last two years.
  🛠️ Match-ready: Recently pushed Duckworth to three sets and took sets off Popyrin on grass—battle-tested and confident.

🔍 Match Breakdown

This is a mismatch in terms of Slam experience and surface readiness. Tseng might be the more naturally talented player, but he’s short on belief and physical durability. He tends to fade fast in best-of-five, especially on quicker surfaces where his defensive scrambling is less effective.

Vukic, on the other hand, is a proven Slam grinder with better power tools, a heavier serve, and a more stable base game on grass. He’s used to the pace of main-draw Slams, and Wimbledon has been good to him in recent years.

Unless Tseng serves at an extremely high level and rediscovers his junior instincts, this match leans strongly toward Vukic—especially if it goes beyond three sets.

🔮 Prediction

Vukic’s superior grass form, recent qualifying success, and Slam composure make him the clear favorite here. Tseng may push early, but it’s hard to see him holding up physically or tactically over time.
Prediction: Vukic in 3 sets – unless Vukic collapses mentally, he should control the rhythm and coast to his third Wimbledon second round in a row.
