After an opening Monday in which most of the women's draw held serve, we got chaos left and right on a scorching day two at Wimbledon.
Three of the top five seeds in the ladies bracket got sent packing on Tuesday, including Americans Coco Gauff (2) and Jessica Pegula (3). Gauff's quest to master the Wimbledon grass will continue for at least one more year, as she followed up her French Open win in May with a 7-6 (3), 6-1 loss to Ukrainian Dayana Yastremska in her opening-round match. Pegula, meanwhile, fell to unseeded Italian Elisabetta Cocciaretto, while No. 5 seed Zheng Qinwen lost in three sets to Katerina Siniakova.
That's quite the carnage already, and the bracket has been reshaped dramatically ahead of the start of the second round on Wednesday. How is the schedule shaping up? And which upsets might be next? Let's break it down.

Madison Keys digs deep to avoid upset
Keys' perfect 10-0 record in the first round at Wimbledon appeared to be in serious jeopardy after upstart Elena-Gabriela Ruse snatched the first set in a tiebreak. But despite the scorching afternoon temperatures in London and an opponent who was on a heater from the baseline, Keys found enough to survive.
Despite fighting cramps and heat exhaustion the entire day, Ruse kept coming. Keys ripped off four straight games to take back control of the match, every time it seemed that the favorite was about to pull away, Ruse found an answer, at one point even busting out an underhand serve to catch the American off-guard. It seemed like she might actually have a shot at the upset when she broke Keys to level the final set at 5-5, but the Australian Open champion took each of the final two games to move on to the second round.
There, she'll face No. 37-ranked Olga Danilovic, who dispatched qualifier Shuai Zhang in straight sets in her opener.
Jelena Ostapenko shocked by hometown hero
How's that for revenge? Just days ago, Ostapenko had little problem dispatching Brit Sonay Kartal in their final Wimbledon tuneup at Eastbourne. But at the All England Club on Monday, it was Kartal, the British No. 3, who came up big, rolling in the third set for a 7-5, 2-6, 6-2 win in front of a highly partisan home crowd.
Ostapenko, who entered the tournament seeded No. 20, is one of the heaviest hitters in the women's game. But Kartal kept her off-kilter all day long, consistently neutering her powerful groundstrokes and then showing some impressive poise in the decisive third set. Now she'll get her chance to extend this Cinderella run a little further, with a second-round matchup against No. 111-ranked Viktoriya Tomova, who advanced past Ons Jabeur in Round 1.
Coco Gauff still can't crack Wimbledon
Gauff has won the U.S. Open and the French Open, and she's reached the semifinals at the Australian. Wimbledon is the only major in which she's never made it to the second weekend, and her struggles continued this time around, with a second opening-round loss in three years.
Granted, the draw did her no favors, as Yastremska is a streaky player capable of excellent play on grass who just pushed Gauff to three sets in Madrid back in May. And no matter how hard she battled and defended, her serve simply wasn't good enough, abandoning her entirely in an anticlimactic final set.
Jessica Pegula seals nightmare day for American women
Pegula has similarly struggled on grass, and Tuesday's upset now marks the fourth time in the last six tournaments that she's failed to make it out of the second round at the All England Club. The No. 3 seed had no problems in a straight-set win over Cocciaretto when the two met at Wimbledon back in 2023, but the Italian turned the tables this time, cruising 6-2, 6-3 into the second round.
