Both No. 3 seeds have lost at Wimbledon and the surprises keep coming at the Grand Slam tournament. Alexander Zverev is a three-time major champion who was eliminated by 72nd-ranked Arthur Rinderknech on Tuesday.

Thirteen men and 10 women failed to get to the second round, equaling the highest total at any Grand Slam since assigning 32 seeds in each singles bracket began in 2001.

Third-seeded Alexander Zverev lost to 72nd-ranked Arthur Rinderknech 7-6 (3), 6-7 (8), 6-3, 6-7 (5), 6-4 in the first round at Wimbledon in a match that was suspended overnight

Barbora Krejcikova has come back to avoid becoming the second consecutive Wimbledon women’s champion to lose in the first round a year later

But a day after Carlos Alcaraz required four-and-a-half hours and five sets to see off Italian veteran Fabio Fognini, the “potential upset” alarm bells rang once more as women’s defending champion Barbora Krejcikova found herself wilting in the southwest London heat against an inspired Alexandra Eala.
