Rivals Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz headline the draw for Wimbledon 2025, and while the tennis world wants - and expects - another final between the pair like their French Open epic, the third grand slam of the year always throws up some surprises.
There have already been a couple of upsets, with ninth seed and former semi-finalist at SW19, Daniil Medvedev, out in the first round, losing in four sets to Benjamin Bonzi - a player ranked 55 places below him - and eighth seed Holger Rune collapsing from two sets to love up against Nicolas Jarry, losing in five.
Both the men’s and women’s 20th seeds are both out, and both lost to British opposition - Latvia’s Jelena Ostapenko fell in three sets to an inspired British No 3, Sonay Kartal, while wildcard Arthur Fery got the better of Australian’s Alexei Popyrin.
