The first round of Wimbledon 2026 produced a stunning upset as Serbian star Novak Djokovic was eliminated early, losing to a lower-ranked opponent in a match that shocked fans on Centre Court.
His opponent capitalised on uncharacteristic errors from the Serbian star to seal the win, in a result nobody had predicted before the tournament began.
The result ranks among the biggest shocks the tournament has seen in recent years, particularly given Djokovic's impressive record on the grass at the All England Club.
The early exit opens the door to widespread speculation over who is now best placed to challenge for the title at this year's edition.
