Kamil Majchrzak vs Arthur Rinderknech

🎾 Wimbledon 2025 – 3rd Round Preview

Kamil Majchrzak vs Arthur Rinderknech

🧠 Form & Context

Kamil Majchrzak
🎯 Grass-court redemption: The Pole is into the 3rd round of Wimbledon for the first time in five appearances, making the most of a favorable draw after wins over Matteo Berrettini and Ethan Quinn.
🧱 Grit & consistency: He’s been in solid form across all surfaces this year (23–13 overall), with a Challenger title in Madrid and a SF in Marrakech on clay.
📈 Slam breakthrough: This marks only his second career R3 at a major—the first was at the 2019 US Open. A win here would vault him back into the ATP Top 100.
🧠 Confident streak: Has won 7 of his last 9 matches, including five-set toughness vs Berrettini. Comfortable grinding but lacks firepower on faster surfaces.

Arthur Rinderknech
🚨 Zverev scalp: Pulled off the shock of the tournament by eliminating world No. 3 Zverev in five sets. Then backed it up with another marathon win over Garin.
📉 Rocky season turnaround: Entered Wimbledon with a losing record in 2025 (14–22) but is catching fire during the grass swing. QF at Queen’s (beat Shelton) was a warning.
🎾 Grass boost: Now 7–4 on grass this year, more wins than on any other surface. Showing confidence in serve-volley tactics and tiebreaks.
🏁 Slam milestone chase: Like Majchrzak, he's bidding for his first-ever second-week appearance at a Slam. Previously went R3 once (US Open 2023).

🔍 Match Breakdown

This clash presents a fascinating contrast in style and momentum. Majchrzak thrives on rhythm and rally endurance, using timing and consistency to frustrate opponents. Rinderknech, on the other hand, brings explosive firepower—especially with his serve and forehand—and excels in quicker conditions. The Frenchman’s form surge on grass has been timely, and his serve-volley sequences have clicked well. However, two back-to-back five-set battles could sap his legs, and Majchrzak will look to extend points and exploit any signs of fatigue. Majchrzak’s serve return and fitness could allow him to chip away over time. The key for the Pole will be creating break chances early and forcing longer service games from Rinderknech, who’s been pushed to the brink twice already.

🔮 Prediction

This is about margins and endurance. Rinderknech holds the edge in raw weapons and confidence from his Zverev scalp, but if Majchrzak turns this into a grind, all bets are off. Expect the Frenchman to take control early, but the deeper it goes, the more dangerous the Pole becomes. Prediction: Arthur Rinderknech in 4 sets. If it hits a fifth, Majchrzak could flip the script.
