At Wimbledon on Thursday, China’s Wang Xinyu made history by defeating American Jessica Pegula in the second round. Pegula, the fifth seed, was stunned as she lost to Xinyu in a close match that ended 6-4, 6-7(7), 6-1. This defeat marked the highest-seeded player to be eliminated from the tournament so far.
Xinyu, ranked 42nd, secured her first win over a top-10 player and became the first Chinese player since 2008 to defeat a top-five player when she beat Pegula. After the match, Xinyu expressed how challenging it was to play against Pegula on grass but was thrilled about her victory.
Following her win against Pegula, Xinyu is set to face Harriet Dart in the third round at Wimbledon. Meanwhile, American Madison Keys advanced to the next round after defeating Wang Yafan 6-2, 6-2 and will play against Marta Kostyuk. On the men’s side, Ben Shelton triumphed in a hard-fought five-set match against Lloyd Harris and is scheduled to compete against Denis Shapovalov in the upcoming round.
