Just three days after lifting the trophy on the grass of the Bad Homburg Open, third seed Jessica Pegula suffered a first-round exit at Wimbledon, falling in straight sets to world No. 116 Elisabetta Cocciaretto. This is the American’s earliest Grand Slam defeat in five years!
The world No. 3 Pegula lost to Cocciaretto 6-2 6-3 in less than an hour. The American managed just five winners and committed 24 unforced errors. Cocciaretto never even faced a break point. This Day 2 upset is the biggest of the 2025 tournament so far across both the women’s and men’s singles draws.
