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.

Tennis veteran Marin Cilic pulled off another upset at Wimbledon on Thursday, taking down No. 4 Jack Draper in four sets. After dropping the first two sets of the match, Draper stormed back to take the third, and it felt for a moment that the comeback was on. Instead, Cilic shut the door on a 6–4, 6–3, 1–6, 6–4 victory.

Wimbledon has hit back at Jack Draper after the British No.1 claimed the new Electronic Line Calling at SW19 is not “100 per cent accurate”. Draper disputed several calls during his second round defeat to Marin Cilic and later lamented the demise of line judges.
