LONDON — Third-seeded Alexander Zverev lost to 72nd-ranked Arthur Rinderknech 7-6 (3), 6-7 (8), 6-3, 6-7 (5), 6-4 in the first round at Wimbledon on Tuesday in a match that was suspended overnight. It was Zverev’s earliest exit at a Grand Slam tournament since 2019 — also at the All England Club.

LONDON — There was three-time Grand Slam finalist and No. 3 seed Alexander Zverev, outplayed over five sets in a first-round loss at Wimbledon to 72nd-ranked Arthur Rinderknech, who entered Tuesday with a 1-4 career record at the All England Club and zero trips past the third round in 18 appearances at majors.

On Tuesday at the All England Lawn and Tennis Club, American Jessica Pegula and German Alexander Zverev each were shockingly ousted in the opening round of the tournament. First came the stunning win by world No. 116 Elisabetta Cocciaretto of Italy, who knocked out Pegula 6-2, 6-3 in 58 minutes.
