Wimbledon Seeds Fall as Sinner, Krejcikova Reach Second Round

World number one Jannik Sinner advanced smoothly to the second round at Wimbledon, showing resilience in his return to the Grand Slam stage after a recent French Open final loss. In contrast, the tournament saw a record number of seeded players eliminated early, including notable exits by American second seed Coco Gauff, Italian seventh seed Lorenzo Musetti, and American third seed Jessica Pegula. Defending women's champion Barbora Krejcikova struggled through a tough match but ultimately secured her place in the third round despite ongoing injury issues. Novak Djokovic continues his pursuit of an eighth Wimbledon title and a 25th Grand Slam amid these upsets, poised to play in improved weather conditions. The early rounds have been marked by uncharacteristic errors and grueling matches under stifling heat, contributing to the unprecedented number of seeded players crashing out. This mix of emerging talent and seasoned champions highlights the unpredictable nature of this Wimbledon tournament.
