Sebastian Ofner: Strong appearance at the Wimbledon duel against Tommy Paul!

The Austrian tennis professional Sebastian Ofner faces a groundbreaking challenge at the current Wimbledon Championships, which have been taking place since June 30, 2025. Ofner, the last Austrian player in singles, dreams of reaching the third round of the prestigious tournament after eight years. In his first round, the 29-year-old Styrian only needed 87 minutes because his opponent Hamad Medjedovic had to give up in the second set. This gives OFNER the opportunity to prepare optimally for his next game against the American Tommy Paul, set as number 13.

The encounter against Paul will be a big challenge for Ofner. Despite a previously unfavorable record on hard court, where he has only won three games against the world -class player in the past, Ofner believes in his chances and emphasizes the importance of bringing many returns back and achieving a high surcharge rate. He remembers his impressive run in Wimbledon 2017 when he defeated Jack Sock, which was set as number 18.

current form and preparation

During the qualification in Mallorca, Ofner had to give up due to heel pain, but he was able to train without any problems again on Monday and feels in good shape. For safety, he took a painkiller before the match against Medjedovic, but was able to move and enjoy without any problems, which also underlines the current state of fitness. In a possible third round, Ofner could meet the Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrow or the Frenchman Corentin Moutet.

Compared to Ofner, Tommy Paul has an impressive record of 26-10 (as of 2025) this season, while OFNER has an overall balance of 19-10 this year. Paul’s game statistics show an overall strong performance with successes on different coverings, including lawns. His balance sheet in recent years illustrates his constant form, which makes him a serious opponent for Ofner.
