China’s Wang Xinyu achieved her first victory against a top-five player at Wimbledon, defeating No. 5 Jessica Pegula in the second round in London. Pegula suffered a surprising loss, falling to Xinyu 6-4, 6-7(7), 6-1, making her the highest seed to exit the tournament so far.

Following the match, Wang expressed her happiness at the win, noting the challenge Pegula presented on grass courts.
