Wimbledon Day 2: Upsets and Close Calls!
Day two of Wimbledon 2025 delivered thrilling matches and unexpected results. Heather Watson's campaign ended prematurely, while Barbora Krejcikova faced a tough challenge. Let's dive into the highlights!
Heather Watson, a former British number one, suffered a first-round defeat against 23rd seed Clara Tauson of Denmark. Despite a strong start, winning the first set 6-2, Watson couldn't maintain her momentum. Tauson battled back, securing the next two sets 6-4, 6-3. Watson struggled with her second serve, especially in the sweltering conditions, contributing to her loss. This marks Watson's third consecutive year exiting Wimbledon in the first round.
Meanwhile, Barbora Krejcikova found herself in a tight spot against Alexandra Eala. Krejcikova appeared to be struggling, particularly with her serve, committing multiple double faults. The match was closely contested, with Eala pushing Krejcikova hard.
