Danish eighth seed Holger Rune suffered a surprising first-round exit at Wimbledon on Monday, squandering a two-set lead against Chile’s Nicolas Jarry.

Rune, 22, was defeated 4-6, 4-6, 7-5, 6-3, 6-4 in a match lasting three hours and 34 minutes on Court Three at the All England Club.

This loss means Rune has yet to advance past the quarter-finals at any of the four Grand Slams; his best previous Wimbledon performance was reaching the last eight in 2023.
