Wimbledon 2025: Alexander Zverev knocked out in first round after shocking upset vs. Arthur Rinderknech
The men's No. 3 tennis player won't be winning Wimbledon in 2025. Alexander Zverev's quest for his first Wimbledon championship came up short, as he was eliminated by Arthur Rinderknech in the first round on Tuesday. Zverev went the distance against Rinderknech. The match not only lasted two days, but extended to a fifth set. Both men started play Monday, but their match had to be suspended after the second set due to Wimbledon's curfew. With the match tied 7-6, 6-7, play resumed Tuesday. Advertisement Any momentum Zverev had after winning the second set Monday was erased, as Rinderknech picked up a 6-3 win in the third set. Zverev battled back in the fourth, taking it 7-6. That set the stage for a final set. When the dust settled, it was Rinderknech who walked away with the 6-4 win in the final set. Actually, it wouldn't be accurate to say he walked away. Following the victory, Rinderknech laid down on the court in shock as the fans erupted in cheers. He eventually got up, extending both arms out to the side as he approached the net to shake hands with Zverev. After that exchange, Rinderknech brought his hands to his head in disbelief before celebrating in front of the crowd. Advertisement Zverev struggled in two key areas during the match. He picked up five double faults and he had a tough time at the net. Zverev won just 50 percent of his net point attempts. Rinderknech dominated in that area, winning 80 percent of his net points. While it was a disappointing result for Zverev, he actually finished with fewer unforced errors in the match, which took nearly five hours to complete. The loss marks the first time since 2019 Zverev failed to advance past the first round at Wimbledon. The event was not held in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and Zverev did not take part in Wimbledon in 2022 due to an injury. While he's typically made deeper runs at the tournament, Wimbledon remains Zverev's toughest Grand Slam. He's won just 64 percent of his matches at Wimbledon. His winning percentage in each of the other three Grand Slams sits above 74 percent. Advertisement Zverev is the second No. 3 seed to fall Tuesday. American Jessica Pegula also suffered an early exit on the women's side, losing to Elisabetta Cocciaretto in straight sets early Tuesday. With the win, Rinderknech, who came into Wimbledon ranked No. 72, will advance to the second round at the event for the second time in his career. Rinderknech also reached the second round at Wimbledon last year, where he was defeated by Taylor Fritz.

At Wimbledon, the Best Fashion Is On the Court
Over in London, Wimbledon is well underway, and we—as per usual—are keeping our eyes trained on the stands for the finest celebrity fashions. (Hello, Olivia Rodrigo, Louis Partridge, and Cate Blanchett!) But this year, the court is rivaling the stands in terms of style. Wimbledon has the strictest player dress code of the Grand Slam tournaments. Competitors are required to wear almost entirely white ('White does not include off white or cream,' they clarify on their website). But that isn't stopping the likes of Coco Gauff and Lorenzo Musetti, both of whom made strong fashion statements with their court-appropriate looks. Yesterday, Gauff hit the court in an ultra-feminine New Balance kit—a pleated kilt and a lace tank top embellished with 3D butterflies. No stone went unturned with her outfit, right down to the sweet, lettuce-trimmed socks that peeked out from her white and mint-green tennis shoes. Goff, fresh off her French Open title, lost the match to Ukrainian player Dayana Yastremska, but at least her kit got its moment in the sun.

Frances Tiafoe bounced by Cameron Norrie in Wimbledon stunner
Another American tennis star is leaving Wimbledon early. After winning the first set, No. 12 seed Frances Tiafoe was dumped out of the second round by Brit Cameron Norrie on Wednesday, 4-6, 6-4, 6-3, 7-5. The loss continues a string of disappointments at the All England Club for Tiafoe, who has never reached the quarterfinals at the grass-court Grand Slam and has only made it to the fourth round once in 2022. Frances Tiafoe reacts during his Wimbledon loss to Cameron Norrie on July 2, 2025. Getty Images Tiafoe, done in by 33 unforced errors on Wednesday, also lost in the second round of this year's Australian Open before making the quarterfinals at the French Open. His ouster comes on the heels of women's French Open champion Coco Gauff's stunning first-round loss to Ukraine's Dayana Yastremska on Tuesday, 7-6 (7-3), 6-1. Gauff revealed afterward she was 'overwhelmed' in the aftermath of her victory at Roland Garros, perhaps impacting her preparation for Wimbledon. Cameron Norrie celebrates during his Wimbledon win over Frances Tiafoe on July 2, 2025. Getty Images Earlier Tuesday, No. 3 seed Jessica Pegula was also shocked in the first round, falling 6-2, 6-3 to Elisabetta Cocciaretto of Italy. It marked the first time Pegula failed to make it out of the first round at a Grand Slam since the 2020 French Open. After making it to the U.S. Open final last year, Pegula has yet to make it past the fourth round in a Grand Slam in 2025. Tiafoe's exit means 14 of the 32 men's seeds are already eliminated, with the second round not even complete.
