Frenchman Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard: The All-England Club continued to be rocked by upsets on the second successive day with Arthur Rinderknech of France stunning third seed Alexander Zverev in a five-set thriller to reach the men's singles second round of Wimbledon 2025 here on Tuesday. Rinderknech overcame Zverev 7-6(3), 6-7(8), 6-3, 6-7(5), 6-4 in a first-round match to earn his first Top 5 win.

The Frenchman and German were locked at one-set-all when play was suspended on Monday night due to the 11 p.m. Wimbledon curfew. When play resumed on Tuesday with the roof open, Rinderknech came out firing to reel off the third set before he recovered from squandering a 5/3 lead in the fourth-set tie-break to win in four hours and 44 minutes.
