Former champ is latest seed to fall at Wimbledon
Sunday Mercury
|July 06, 2025
FORMER champion Elena Rybakina was unable to weather the storm as she slipped out of Wimbledon following a rain-delayed defeat to 22-year-old Dane Clara Tauson.

The world number 11 was bidding to emulate her achievements of 2022 when she overcame Ons Jabeur in the final.
But, in a third-round contest featuring two suspensions due to wet weather, she lost 7-6 (6) 6-3 in two hours and 16 minutes on Court Two.
Kazakh player Rybakina - the 11th seed - made 31 unenforced errors during the match, including sending a straightforward forehand long on match point. "It was amazing to play here today, even though it was a little rainy," the world number 22 said.
"I don’t know what to say. I think I played a really great match. Before this grass season, I had never won a match on grass, so I’m super-happy with how I played today.
"Elena plays so hard, but I was there fighting for every single point so I think that was the key today.
