Wimbledon 2025: Record Upsets and Top Seed Exits

News summary

Wimbledon 2025 saw a record-tying 23 seeded players, including 13 men and 10 women, eliminated in the first round, matching the highest total since 32 seeds were introduced. The most notable upset was World No. 2 and reigning French Open champion Coco Gauff's loss to Dayana Yastremska, where Gauff struggled with her serve, tallying nine double faults and 29 unforced errors, and admitted to feeling mentally overwhelmed by the transition from clay to grass. Fellow top seeds Jessica Pegula and Alexander Zverev also exited early, with Zverev losing in a five-set match to Arthur Rinderknech. The string of early eliminations underscores the unique pressures and unpredictability of the grass-court season. Both Gauff and Pegula acknowledged the strong performances of their opponents and expressed determination to learn from their defeats. The results highlight the ongoing challenge players face in adapting quickly between Grand Slam surfaces.
