Cocciaretto produces a real Pegula shaker
The Gazette
|July 02, 2025
WIMBLEDON World number three Jessica Pegula struggled to explain her shock Wimbledon exit as she praised the “insane” performance of opponent Elisabetta Cocciaretto.
-
Last year’s US Open runner-up crashed out following a 6-2 6-3 defeat to the Italian world number 116 in just 58 minutes.
Seeded third, Pegula became the highestprofile casualty of the women's draw so far as Cocciaretto celebrated the greatest win of her career.
Asked what went wrong, the 31-year-old American, who lost in the first round of a grand slam for the first time since the 2020 French Open, replied: “I don't know. She played absolutely incredible tennis.
“Do I think I played the best match ever? No. But I definitely don't think I was playing bad.
“It's really a bummer to lose. I haven't lost first round of a slam in a very long time, so that sucks.
