Third-seeded Alexander Zverev lost to 72nd-ranked Arthur Rinderknech 7-6 (3), 6-7 (8), 6-3, 6-7 (5), 6-4 in the first round at Wimbledon in a match that was suspended overnight.

The men's No. 3 tennis player won't be winning Wimbledon in 2025. Alexander Zverev's quest for his first Wimbledon championship came up short, as he was eliminated by Arthur Rinderknech in the first round on Tuesday.

Zverev is the 12th men’s seed of 32 to exit Wimbledon in the first round this year, while Rinderknech will face lucky loser Cristian Garín of Chile in the second round Wednesday. For the German, the exit confirms the sense that he’s currently going backwards, regressing from nearly man to not even close.
