Liam Brody v Casper Ruud, Wimbledon Grand Slam second round match, scheduled for Thursday 6 July from 1pm at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club (competition broadcast by Eurosport 1, Eurosport 2 and the Eurosport app).

Liam Brody will start as an underdog against Kasper Ruud in one of the most anticipated matches of the day in the Wimbledon 2023 men’s draw.

The total prize fund for Wimbledon is £44.7 million. This is the 136th tournament among men (Trophy holder Novak Djokovic) and the 129th tournament among women (Trophy holder Elena Rybakina).

Liam Broady (Great Britain, 29 years old, No. 142 ATP) failed to reach the potential declared by an impressive junior career (Wimbledon and US Open singles final, Wimbledon and Australian Open doubles champion).

The Briton has so far failed to even break into the top 100, and last year he reached the third round of Wimbledon, which was the best result of his career at the Grand Slam tournaments.

However, Liam Broady is English and will have the crowd on his side as he is far more experienced on grass than Casper Ruud (76 professional grass matches compared to just 10 for his opponent).

In the first round of Wimbledon, Liam Broady defeated Constant Lestien (#74 ATP), score 6-1, 6-3, 7-5.

Kasper Ruud (Norway, 24, No. 4 ATP) has won ten ATP World Tour titles and played in three Grand Slam finals, all losses: one at the US Open (2022) and two at Roland Garros (2022, 2023).

By the way, after the final in Paris, Casper Ruud played another safe match, on grass, demonstratively with a score of 2-6, 7-6, 10-3 against Oleksiy Popyrin (No. 93 ATP) in Herlingham.

For the second year in a row, the Norwegian did not play an official match before Wimbledon, preferring to take a break after several months of the clay season.

Casper Ruud is playing on the London grass for the fifth time in a row, but he did not manage to pass the second round.

In the first round of Wimbledon-2023, Kasper Ruud defeated Laurent Lokolo (No. 199 ATP), score 6-1, 5-7, 6-4, 6-3.

Liam Brody and Casper Ruud have never met before on the ATP circuit.
