The great seed cull as Zheng Qinwen and Karolina Muchova bundled out at Wimbledon

The seeds continue to drop at Wimbledon with Zheng Qinwen and Karolina Muchova zipping out of the first round as the big names fall at SW19 and the shocks continue.

Perhaps Muchova is less of a shock. The Czech ace unlike her compatriot Barbora Krejcikova who battled valiantly in seeing off Alexandra Eala couldn't battle recent injury troubles.

Missing the tournament last year, Muchova's wrist likely needs to be operated on again and after defending a semi-final run at the US Open, Muchova who is currently World No.14 presumably will seek the help she needs after that going into the close season.

From being one of the players to beat at the end of last season, Muchova's hell has returned and she had a tough test in Xinyu Wang who reached the final of Berlin losing to Marketa Vondrousova last time out.

That was won by Xinyu Wang 7-5, 6-2. Katerina Siniakova almost more surprisingly took down the fifth seed Zheng Qinwen in a 7-5, 4-6, 6-1 win for the Czech ace so mixed fortunes for those players.

But perhaps this should've been seen coming. Zheng has not won past the first round in the past three years at Wimbledon, while Muchova has an even more hellish record losing in four consecutive year.

Seeds continuing to drop like flies. Elsewhere Eastbourne champion Maya Joint is not but she was skittled out by 19th seed Liudmila Samsonova. Anna Kalinskaya also took down Nina Stojanovic 6-3, 7-6.

Iga Swiatek, Mirra Andreeva among others are still in action with Emma Navarro set to take to the court shortly to face two-time champion Petra Kvitova - in the latter's swansong on Court One.
