7-Seeds Hurkacz and Collins Upset; #1 Djokovic & #5 Alcaraz Survive 1st-Round Scares

The first day at the All England Club is in the books, and it wasn’t a good day for the 7-seeds. Both #7 Danielle Collins and #7 Hubert Hurkacz suffered stunning first-round exits at Wimbledon to mark the biggest upsets of Day 1. There were also early scares for No. 1 Novak Djokovic and No. 5 Carlos Alcaraz, but both survived. Andy Murray also burst through Round 1 in comeback fashion. Day 2 is underway from London.
