Matteo Berrettini defeated Marton Fucsovics 7–6, 6–2, 3–6, 6–1 in the first round of Wimbledon on grass on 1 July 2024, confirming his status as pre-match favourite with odds of 1.21 to Fucsovics's 5.11. The Italian controlled much of the encounter, securing the opening set in a tiebreak before establishing dominance in the second. Fucsovics offered resistance in the third set, breaking serve to claim it, but Berrettini reasserted control decisively in the fourth to progress comfortably. The result underscores Berrettini's credentials on grass and sets up a second-round fixture against a qualifier or lower-ranked opponent.
