Jessica Pegula won her ninth career title in Bad Homburg but faced an early exit at Wimbledon, losing in the first round to Elisabetta Cocciaretto. Pegula expressed disappointment, noting it had been a long time since her last first-round loss in a major. The first round of Wimbledon saw a historic number of upsets, with eight top-10 seeds eliminated, including Coco Gauff and Alexander Zverev. This disrupted the expected outcomes for the tournament, leading to concerns among surviving seeded players.
"It's really a bummer to lose. I haven't lost first round of a slam in a very long time, so that sucks."
"Upsets are contagious. If you're seeded, be wary before you leave that locker room."
