Top seeds continue to go down like ninepins at 2025 Wimbledon

On the men's side, Zverev, Musetti, Rune and Medvedev's losses mean that four top-10 players have been ousted in the first round for the third time in 25 years. Musetti's loss was shocking, considering the Italian reached the semifinals at SW19 last year and was coming off a final-four appearance at June's Roland-Garros.

The unprecedented turn of events has opened the door for several wild cards to make deep runs at this year's Wimbledon. As many as seven qualifiers have advanced to the second round, the most at the grass-court major (excluding walkover) since 2014.

Mind you, the upsets extend beyond just the top-10 seeds.

Other notable players who've been upset thus far include No. 16 Francisco Cerundolo, No. 18 Ugo Humbert, No. 20 Alexei Popyrin, No. 24 Stefanos Tsitsipas (medically retired), No. 27 Denis Shapovalov, No. 28 Alexander Bublik, No. 30 Alex Michelsen, No. 31 Tallon Griekspoor and No. 32 Matteo Berrettini.

Bublik arrived at SW19 amid a lot of buzz after winning the Halle title, where he defeated Jannik Sinner and Daniil Medvedev. Many analysts considered him the biggest wild-card contender to win Wimbledon due to his serve-and-volley style, which is well-suited for grass courts. Instead, the 26th-seeded Kazakh fell to Spanish qualifier Jaume Munar in five sets, all while complaining about the scorching heat.

So, who's on upset alert on Day 3?

Madison Keys, the reigning Australian Open champion, will be tested by rising Serbian star Olga Danilovic. On the men's side, World No. 5 Taylor Fritz will face a tricky opponent in 23-year-old Canadian Gabriel Diallo, who made some noise in the grass-court swing leading to Wimbledon.
