Updated Men's Wimbledon bracket after Round 1: Alcaraz survives, Medvedev upset

There's never a dull moment at Wimbledon, which became abundantly clear early in Round 1 of the men's draw. We saw plenty of high-level tennis, including remarkable performances from players who weren't expected to advance but found a way to prevail. Conversely, some top-ranked competitors had rough days at the office and saw their time at SW19 end earlier than anticipated.

If the opening slate of the 2025 gentlemen's singles draw was any indication, the fun at the All England Lawn Tennis Club is just beginning. Let's unpack the madness from the first day and look ahead to what's in store in Round 2.

Carlos Alcaraz avoids shocker in nail-biter vs. Fabio Fognini

Fabio Fognini went out with a bang against two-time defending champion Carlos Alcaraz for what will go down as his final Wimbledon match. The 38-year-old Italian is retiring from tennis after this season, but he gave one of the sport's biggest stars a run for his money.

Alcaraz narrowly escaped with a 7-5, 6-7 (5), 7-5, 2-6, 6-1 five-set victory in a match that lasted 4 hours and 27 minutes. As usual, the Spaniard thrived under pressure, saving 16 of 21 break points (76 percent) and converting nearly half of his break opportunities (47 percent). But what made the difference was his new and improved serve, recording 14 aces to Fognini's one.

Daniil Medvedev is sent home early after being upset by Benjamin Bonzi

Daniil Medvedev has dropped consecutive first-round Grand Slam matches for the first time since 2017 (including this year's French Open loss to Cameron Norrie). Ironically, Benjamin Bonzi handed the world No. 9 his second straight defeat on each occasion (h/t TNT Sports).

Unforced errors (47) and struggling to defend were Medvedev's downfall. He committed 12 double faults to Bonzi's one while posting a 25 percent return point win rate. Those numbers won't get it done; hence why the Russian won't be making a third Wimbledon semifinal appearance in a row.

Alexander Zverev and Lorenzo Musetti add to list of top-10 first-round exits

Four top-10 seeded men's players drop in through two days of action at Wimbledon. No. 3 Alexander Zverev and No. 7 Lorenzo Musetti are the latest members, joining No. 8 Holger Rune and the previously mentioned Medvedev.

Zverev could've very well lost in straights if not for a heroic effort to rally from a 3-5 tiebreak deficit and tally four consecutive points. Arthur Rinderknech was dialed in from the jump, making him uncomfortable early. The German did all he could to avoid elimination, but it wasn't enough.

With Musetti and Medvedev now out, two of last year's semifinalists are already out of the picture; Alcaraz nearly made it three! The No. 2 Italian came well short of defending the points from his deep run in 2024, losing strangely handily to Nikoloz Basilashvili.

Novak Djokovic's potential final Wimbledon appearance continues, Alexander Bublik disappoints

24-time major champion Novak Djokovic isn't sure if this will be his "last dance" at Wimbledon. But the possibility of this being his final outing at the world's oldest and most prestigious tennis tournament shouldn't be taken for granted. He was rightfully favored heavily over Alexandre Muller, but appreciate greatness while you still can. Besides, the Frenchman put up a better fight than the odds may have indicated -- after a brutal 1-6 opening set.

Alexander Bublik entered Wimbledon with tremendous momentum and was among the dark horses to dethrone Alcaraz. He was undefeated during the grass swing thus far this season (5-0), punctuated by a Halle Open title win over Medvedev. Alas, the 28-year-old failed to maintain his dominant form versus Jaume Munar despite having an opportunity to serve for the match in the fourth set.

Munar pulled out a tiebreaker over Bublik in a grueling set that exceeded an hour in match time to force a decisive fifth set. From there, the former was in firm control, keeping his foot on the gas to meet the intensity of the moment.
