Wimbledon 2025 is shaping up to be a bloodbath for some top-ranked players, and Tommy Paul is the latest domino to fall. Paul, the No. 13 seed and one of the highest-ranked Americans at the tournament, fell to Austrian Sebastian Ofner in four sets. Paul was dominant to start, taking the first set 6-1. But then Ofner fought back, taking the next three highly contested sets, 7-5, 6-4, 7-5. Though Paul outplayed Ofner across several key stats, the Austrian played boldly, picking up nearly 50 unforced errors but also winning more overall points. This year's Wimbledon has already seen a huge number of upsets in the first two rounds of play. On the women's side,four of the five top-seeded players were eliminatedin the first three days. Several top men's players, includingNo. 3-seeded Alexander ZverevandNo. 4-seeded Jack Draperhave also lost in the early rounds of the tournament. Paul's loss also leaves Wimbledon with few Americans remaining, both for the men and women. Frances Tiafoe, seeded No. 12,lost to Cameron Norrie on Tuesday, while several unseeded Americans are already out of the men's singles tournament. On the women's side,Jessica PegulaandCoco Gauffwere both eliminated after first-round losses in straight sets. The highest-seeded American man still left in the tournament is Taylor Fritz, No. 5, whoadvanced to the third roundafter a five-set marathon against unseeded Canadian Gabriel Diallo. Fritz survived quite a challenge from Diallo, dropping the first set and picking up a crucial tiebreaker before eventually finishing out the match. Another high-seeded American, No. 10 Ben Shelton, is also still in the running, thoughhis second-round match against Rinky Hijikata was suspendeddue to darkness with Shelton only one game away from winning.
