- 🔙 Slam revival: This is his first Grand Slam second round appearance since AO 2022, and only the third of his career.

- 🌿 Grass evolution: Had just 4 career grass matches before this swing, but is now 4–2 this season—including a R1 win over Searle and a main draw win in Mallorca.
- 🚀 Serve-heavy weaponry: Big-serving game is effective on slick grass; saved 10 of 11 break points in R1.

- 🎯 Targeting first Slam 3R: This is his Wimbledon debut and only his second R2 appearance at a major.
🔍 Match Breakdown
Stylistically, this is a contrast between Quinn’s explosive serve-first aggression and Majchrzak’s compact, counter-punching, rally-building style.
Quinn will try to shorten points and dominate with his serve and forehand, while Majchrzak will aim to extend rallies, expose the American’s movement, and take advantage of his inexperience on grass. However, Majchrzak’s five-setter and fitness questions could work against him, especially if the match goes deep.
Majchrzak has the experience and composure, but Quinn is riding momentum, has fresher legs, and is brimming with confidence after a very productive European swing.
🔮 Prediction
Prediction: Quinn in 4 sets, with Majchrzak potentially nabbing a set through sheer baseline consistency and fight.
