Draper's upset comes during a tournament full of them. Wimbledon has seen some big names exit early in 2025, including No. 2 Coco Gauff, No. 3 Jessica Pegula and No. 3 Alexander Zverev. Draper is the latest big name to be eliminated from the event prematurely.

Jack Draper crashed out of Wimbledon to the world No83 Marin Cilic as he was beaten in a four-set thriller on Court No1, 6-4 6-3 1-6 6-4. Draper had worked his way up the rankings to No4 in the world and had a decent draw, so plenty had tipped him to go far in the tournament.

The 36-year-old Cilic, the 2014 U.S. Open champion and 2017 Wimbledon runner-up, stunned fourth-seeded Jack Draper 6-4, 6-3, 1-6, 6-4 in a second-round match on No. 1 Court to eliminate the top British player from the grass-court Grand Slam tournament.
