A look at the women’s results from the first round of Wimbledon 2017 Days 1 and 2.

Wimbledon 2017 got underway on Monday and didn’t waste much time with a few upsets among seeded players. This was expected to be a wild grand slam, and it lived up to the bill right away. That didn’t subside on Day 2 on Tuesday, July 4 however. There were more upsets throughout, though many of the higher seeds also advanced.

The highest seed upset on Day 2 of Wimbledon 2017 on the women’s side of things was No. 16 Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova, who went down in three sets to Arina Rodionova. Also in the top-30 going down was Kiki Bertens (23), Lauren Davis (28) and Daria Gavrilova (20). That’s a lot of early action, without question at Wimbledon.

However, the top overall seed in Angelique Kerber advanced in straight sets, and Caroline Wozniacki moved on as well. However, the No. 5 seed had a bit of trouble as she dropped the second set. She’s still alive, though, which is all it takes.

For all the results from the Day 1 first round action, look here. Let’s take a gander at the Day 2 results from Wimbledon 2017 to conclude the first round:

Next: Each State's Sports Mt Rushmore

There have been decidedly more upsets on the women’s side of things at Wimbledon to this point. That’s to be expected, however, given how wide-open many consider this tournament without Serena Williams involved. Expect to see more of the same moving forward.
