It was a rough day for six-seeds at Wimbledon on Tuesday. First, the defending women’s champion, Markéta Vondroušová, lost to unseeded Jessica Bouzas Maneiro. Then, a few hours later, Andrey Rublev fell to unseeded Francisco Comesana.
While the Vondroušová upset was quite a surprise, especially since she was the defending champion, it wasn’t nearly the upset that Rublev endured. Vondroušová was -700 to win her first-round matchup.
But Rublev was a massive -5000 favorite to advance to the second round. Based on the applied odds, Rublev had a 98% chance to beat Comesana.
