Jack Draper breezes past ailing Sebastian Baez in Wimbledon opener
Jack Draper was given the most comfortable of passages through to the second round of Wimbledon when opponent Sebastian Baez pulled out injured. The Argentinian twice consulted medical staff for what appeared a right leg issue after slipping early in the second set and called it quits trailing 6-2 6-2 2-1. Draper had been in control from the moment the contest started on Court One and, while a short outing in the heat might have seemed optimal, the 23-year-old said: 'I wanted to play a bit longer in all honesty. Sebastian Baez receives treatment during a medical timeout (Adam Davy/PA) 'I felt like I was getting my tennis together a bit, I was serving well. It's no way to win like that and I wish Sebastian the best of recoveries of course. 'I'm really looking forward to this next week or so, it's going to be great. I focus on each player as it comes. You've got to have respect for every one of these guys.' Such is Draper's status now that it is easy to forget by reaching the second round he has already equalled his best performance at Wimbledon, with this just his third SW19 victory. Anything short of the quarter-finals here would be viewed as a disappointment, and the fourth seed saw a potential third-round danger eliminated before he had even taken to the court, with in-form Alexander Bublik – who he lost to at the French Open – defeated by Jaume Munar. Jack Draper raced through (Adam Davy/PA) Next up for Draper will be former finalist Marin Cilic, who may be a fading presence on tour these days at 36 but is likely to offer significantly more of a challenge than Baez. The Argentinian only just missed out on a seeding but is a throwback to the days when Latin American players gave grass a wide berth. The prize money on offer at the grand slams means skipping the tournament altogether is no longer the preferred option but Baez has not won a tour-level match on grass for two years and he did not play a warm-up event. The only indication of early nerves was two overhit forehands from Draper but that did not stop him breaking the Baez serve in the opening game, and after 26 minutes he had collected the first set. Jack Draper advances to the second round after Sebastian Baez is forced to retire with injury #Wimbledon — Wimbledon (@Wimbledon) July 1, 2025 The Argentinian's mood was not improved by a painful slip in the opening game of the second set, which was swiftly followed by another break after Draper sent a forehand fizzing down the line to 'oohs' from the crowd. While Baez picked himself up quickly after the fall, he called the trainer after the third and the fifth games. The 24-year-old could perhaps have been tempted to cut his losses sooner so one-sided was the contest but, after dropping serve once more early in the third set, Baez shook hands with Draper – who lost just five points on serve – and headed off court.

‘Every person has a brolly' – Temperatures soar past 34C as Wimbledon comes close to its hottest day ever
The temperature reached 34.2C by mid-afternoon, edging closer to the tournament's record high of 35.7C set in 2015. It followed a scorching Monday that provisionally broke the record for the hottest opening day, with 29.7C logged at Kew Gardens. Spectators in the famous Wimbledon queue came prepared - many bringing umbrellas, fans, and wine to cope with the conditions. Some were spotted napping in the early-morning heat, while others used towels and hats to shield themselves from the sun. Even straw hats sold out at the Wimbledon shop by early afternoon as fans scrambled for shade in the scorching heat Anjon Saidy-Khan, 32, said: "We saw the news – it looks set to be even hotter today so we needed to be prepared. "If you saw a picture, you'd think it was pouring it down - every other person has a brolly." Centre Court hosted world number two Coco Gauff and seven-time champion Novak Djokovic, who both began their campaigns in sweltering sunshine. Among the guests braving the heat in the Royal Box were Cate Blanchett, Rebel Wilson and Russell Crowe - the latter remaining suited and booted despite the weather. Sarah Lancashire wore a white summer dress with a blazer over her shoulders, while Molly-Mae Hague arrived in a camel-coloured shirt dress. On the court, Dan Evans booked his place in the second round with a straight-sets win over fellow Briton Jay Clarke, setting up a potential showdown with Djokovic. But there were early exits for Heather Watson, Francesca Jones, Jodie Burrage, George Loffhagen and Johannus Monday, who was backed by around a dozen friends from his hometown of Cottingham, Yorkshire. Tuesday's action followed dramatic scenes on Monday when play was paused after a woman fainted in the stands during Carlos Alcaraz's match. The defending champion rushed to help, handing her a bottle of water as medics arrived. World number one Jannik Sinner stayed cool to reach the second round of Wimbledon while several of his fellow seeds including Italian compatriot Lorenzo Musetti and American hope Jessica Pegula crashed and burned on a sizzling Tuesday. Djokovic will continue his bid for a record-equalling eighth Wimbledon title and standalone 25th Grand Slam title when the 38-year-old Serb will play Frenchman Alexandre Muller later when conditions improve after a second day of stifling heat. A red-hot Sinner effortlessly eased through beating fellow Italian and close friend Luca Nardi 6-4 6-3 6-0 in a victorious return to the Grand Slam stage after his epic French Open final defeat by Carlos Alcaraz last month. "First round matches are never easy, so I'm very happy about today. Obviously, for Italian tennis, a bit unfortunate," Sinner told reporters. "I know him quite well as a person. I tried to put away the friendship for a couple of hours. So it's all good." Sinner's other friend Musetti, last year's semi-finalist, was dumped out by Georgian qualifier Nikoloz Basilashvili, who prevailed 6-2 4-6 7-5 6-1 on a muggy Court Two. Wimbledon dark horse Alexander Bublik, seeded 28th, was also unable to avoid the exit door, as the Kazakh showman was dragged into battle by Spaniard Jaume Munar and beaten 6-4 3-6 4-6 7-6(5) 6-2 to continue the exodus of seeded men's players. Taylor Fritz let out a massive roar but it might as well have been a sigh of relief after the fifth-seeded American moved past big-serving Frenchman Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard 6-7(6) 6-7(8) 6-4 7-6(6) 6-4 in a match carried forward from Monday. His American compatriot Tommy Paul took out Briton Monday with little fuss, the 13th seed cruising 6-4 6-4 6-2, but it was the end of the road for 30th seed Alex Michelsen who fell 6-2 3-6 6-3 3-6 7-6(6) to Serbia's Miomir Kecmanovic. World number three Alexander Zverev was dumped on the seeds scrapheap after losing a two-day, five-set marathon to Arthur Rinderknech. The German, a three-time grand slam finalist, was beaten 7-6 (3) 6-7 (8) 6-3 6-7 (5) 6-4 by Frenchman Rinderknech in a match carried over from Monday evening. In fact, it was so long - at four hours and 40 minutes – that it actually started in June and finished in July. Zverev is the fourth top-10 player to crash out in the first round at this year's Championships - and the highest-ranked - joining Musetti, Holger Rune, and Daniil Medvedev through the exit door. On the women's side, defending champion Barbora Krejcikova was tested by promising 20-year-old Filipina Alexandra Eala, but she found best form to win 3-6 6-2 6-1 on her return to Centre Court after last year's surprise triumph. "I mean, what the hell [kind of tennis] she played in the first set?" said Krejcikova, praising her opponent. "She was smashing the ball and cleaning the lines, so wow, wow. She's going to be really good in a couple of years." While Eala missed her chance to make history, Zeynep Sonmez became the first Turkish woman to reach the second round at the grasscourt Grand Slam when she battled past Romania's Jaqueline Cristian 7-6(5) 6-3. Third seed Pegula was unable to put up a fight as she fell 6-2 6-3 in 58 minutes to Elisabetta Cocciaretto before Olympic champion and fifth seed Qinwen Zheng was beaten 7-5 4-6 6-1 by Czech Katerina Siniakova. Five-times Grand Slam champion Iga Swiatek faced a tight opening set against Polina Kudermetova but the eighth seed won 7-5 6-1 while Russian teenager Mirra Andreeva advanced after a 6-3 6-3 victory over Mayar Sherif. Victoria Mboko found out a few hours before she faced Magdalena Frech that she had entered the main draw as a lucky loser due to Anastasia Potapova's pullout and the Canadian teenager rode her luck to stun the 25th seed 6-3 6-2.
