Although Fonseca and Jarry have contrasting game styles, they are both suited for the hallowed grass courts of All England Club. The Chilean faced a monumental opening round against No. 8 seed Holger Rune, and capitalised on the Danish prodigy’s injury concerns to storm into Round-2. Meanwhile, Fonseca has dropped a solitary set en route to this battle. While Jarry has the stronger serve, Fonseca can outhit his counterpart from the baseline.

Joao Fonseca entered Wimbledon with a 1-2 record on grass this year. He has won 82% service games and converts 30% break points on this surface. On the other hand, Nicolas Jarry holds serve 87.5% of the time, and also wins 24% return games. The 29-year-old is searching for his first title of the season. His best performance came at the beginning of the year, when he reached the QF in Brisbane. His 18-year-old opponent announced himself with a championship run in Buenos Aires.

WOW.

Nicolas Jarry, who had to play the qualifying at #Wimbledon after some terrible 12 months, comes back from two sets down for the FIRST TIME in his career to beat #8 seed Holger Rune 4-6, 4-6, 7-5, 6-3, 6-4 and reach the 2nd round in London. pic.twitter.com/zcdbZ1Nsg6
