The men’s No. 3 tennis player won’t be winning Wimbledon in 2025. Alexander Zverev’s quest for his first win at Wimbledon came up short, as he was eliminated by Arthur Rinderknech in the first round Tuesday.
Zverev went the distance against Rinderknech, pushing the match to a fifth set. But when the dust settled, it was Rinderknech who walked away with the win.

Actually, it wouldn’t be accurate to say he walked away. Following the victory, Rinderknech laid down on the court in shock as the fans erupted in cheers.
He eventually got up, extending both arms out to the side as he approached the net to shake hands with Zverev. After that exchange, Rinderknech brought his hands to his head in disbelief before celebrating in front of the crowd.
