Draper's upset comes during a tournament full of them. Wimbledon has seen some big names exit early in 2025, including No. 2 Coco Gauff, No. 3 Jessica Pegula and No. 3 Alexander Zverev. Draper is the latest big name to be eliminated from the event prematurely.

The world No. 4 could not stage a comeback at his home Grand Slam, going out in round two for the second year in a row.

Jack Draper crashed out of Wimbledon to the world No83 Marin Cilic as he was beaten in a four-set thriller on Court No1, 6-4 6-3 1-6 6-4. Draper had worked his way up the rankings to No4 in the world and had a decent draw, so plenty had tipped him to go far in the tournament.
