The drama and the upsets continue at Wimbledon as fourth seed Ben Shelton crashed out in the first round.
It is so often a place where magic moments can happen, and the very best in the world can suddenly find themselves on the end of a very embarrassing and premature exit.
In previous years, Roger Federer was stunned by Sergiy Stakhovsky in the second round in 2013, as the Ukrainian produced a serve-and-volley masterclass to dump out the defending champion and eight-time winner at the All England Club.
Serena Williams, who has come out of her four-year retirement to play at this summer’s Championships, was shocked by Sabine Lisicki in the last 16 in 2013, as her 34-match unbeaten streak was brought to a crushing end.
Nick Kyrgios exploded onto the scene with his victory over Rafael Nadal the following year, becoming the first man outside the top 100 to defeat a world No1 at a major tournament since 1992.
But who has suffered a similar fate this time around?
In the men’s draw, Ben Shelton lost a thrilling five-set battle with Finland’s Otto Virtanen.
Shelton was the fourth seed and reached the Wimbledon quarter-finals last year, but his campaign ended at the first hurdle this time.
The American lost a fifth set tie-break as Virtanen held his nerve to win 6-4 3-6 6-7 (8) 6-2 7-6 (9). He will face Britain’s Arthur Fery in the second round.
Andrey Rublev, the 12th seed, was defeated in a marathon five-setter by his Russian compatriot Roman Safiullin, who emerged 6-4 6-7(6) 3-6 6-3 7-6(12) victor over on Court 17.
On Court No3, three-time Grand Slam finalist Casper Ruud was dumped out in straight sets by the heavy-hitting Hubert Hurkacz, falling 6-4 6-2 7-6(8) to the Pole.
Cameron Norrie, the British No1, was also stunned in five sets by the American qualifier Michael Zheng.
The 22-year-old played out of his skin to upset the home favourite - who was carrying British men’s hopes almost by himself following Jack Draper’s late withdrawal - and he claimed one of the biggest wins of his young career as he ousted the No26 seed on Court No2, coming through 6-7(7) 6-2 6-7(2) 6-3 7-6(4).
30th seed Alejandro Tabilo was beaten by the Pole Kamil Majchrzak in straighht sets on Court No5, 6-3 7-5 7-5.
On the women’s side, several seeds have already fallen.
Maja Chwalinska, who emerged from nowhere to reach the final of the French Open, was stunned by the Indonesian Mananchaya Sawangkaew 2-6 7-5 6-2 on Court 12, and 28th seed Ann Li also tumbled out as Zeynep Sonmez bested her 7-5 1-6 6-4 on Court 15.
On Tuesday, Danish 24th seed Clara Tauson was defeated by the former world No3 Maria Sakkari 6-3 6-3.
Britain’s Katie Boulter also sank to a premature exit, losing to the world No172 Tyla Caterina Grant - the 18-year-old, who finds herself 112 places below the British No2 in the WTA rankings - 6-4 6-2.
