Summary of Australian Results from 2025 Men’s Wimbledon Tournament

The Australian contingent had a mixed but ultimately disappointing showing at the 2025 men’s Wimbledon Championships, with several players making early progress before being eliminated.

Key Australian Performances:

Alex de Minaur (11th seed) – The highest-seeded Australian had the deepest run, reaching the fourth round. De Minaur cruised through his first-round match against Roberto Carballes Baena with a 6-2 6-2 7-6(2) win, then came back from a woeful first set against French qualifier Arthur Cazaux to win 4-6 6-2 6-4 6-0. He then defeated August Holmgren 6-4 7-6 (7-5) 6-3 to reach the fourth round. However, his tournament ended when Novak Djokovic came from a set down to defeat him 1-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 on Monday, 7 July.

Jordan Thompson – Had the most impressive run among the Australians, reaching his first-ever Wimbledon fourth round. Thompson came from two sets to love down to defeat Czechia’s Vit Kopriva on Day 1, then survived Benjamin Bonzi in five sets in the second round. Thompson secured his place in the fourth round with a four-set victory against Luciano Darderi 6-4 6-4 3-6 6-3, equaling his best Grand Slam result. Unfortunately, his run ended when Taylor Fritz defeated him 6-1, 3-0 via walkover due to Thompson’s ongoing back injury issues.

Aleksandar Vukic – Set up a showdown with world No.1 Jannik Sinner by reaching the second round for a third straight year, prevailing against Chinese Taipei’s Tseng Chun-Hsin. However, he was crushed by World No.1 Jannik Sinner 6-1 6-1 6-3 in the second round.

Rinky Hijikata – Charged past David Goffin 6-3 6-1 6-1 to score the first win of his career against the former world No.7 in the first round. However, he lost his second-round singles match against Ben Shelton 6-2 7-5 6-4, having saved three match points prior to the postponement of play on Thursday evening.

Other Australian Results:

James McCabe’s fairytale run came to an end after he lost in straight sets to Hungarian Fabian Marozsan. The 21-year-old was on debut at the All England Club after qualifying for his first Grand Slam.

Adam Walton, having battled back from two sets down, lost 6-3 7-6 (8-6) 4-6 6-7 (5-7) 6-1 to Frenchman Arthur Cazaux.

Overall Assessment:

The evidence shows that while Australia had four players reach the second round (de Minaur, Thompson, Vukic, and Hijikata), only two advanced to the third round (de Minaur and Thompson), with Thompson achieving the best result by reaching the fourth round for the first time at Wimbledon. Seven Australians had lost in Monday’s calamitous start, with only an injured Jordan Thompson battling through, but Tuesday’s results meant there would be five in the last-64 draw. The tournament represented a mixed bag for Australian tennis, with Thompson’s breakthrough fourth-round appearance being the highlight amid several early exits.
