Down goes another.
Wimbledon’s No. 4 seed in the men’s bracket, Jack Draper, is the latest seed to fall in the opening two rounds of the grass-court Grand Slam. He shouldn’t feel too bad, though.

The women have lost seeds 2, 3, 4 and 5, among many others.
The men have lost 3, 4 and 5.
Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz remain on the men’s side at the top, while Aryna Sabalenka is alone in the women’s top seed group.
Wimbledon hands out 32 seeds in each bracket.
After Draper’s loss, the men’s bracket has already dropped 19 seeded players. On the women’s side, 18 seeded players are out.
