Gauff and Pegula join a record-breaking exodus of top seeds during the first round at Wimbledon. With both Americans out of the draw, it's the first time in Open Era history that two of the top three women's seeds exit in the first round of a major.

Coco Gauff was "mentally overwhelmed" before becoming one of the 23 seeded players who failed to win Wimbledon 2025 openers, setting a record for the grass court major and tying the mark for any Grand Slam in history.
