Wimbledon Round Two: Surprises As Hurkacz And Tsitsipas Exit Early
Hubert Hurkacz was the most notable player to exit the Wimbledon men's singles on day four. The seventh seed had to retire due to injury during his match against Arthur Fils. Hurkacz, who reached the semi-finals in 2021 and was runner-up to Jannik Sinner in Halle last month, injured his knee while trailing by two sets to one. Despite trying to continue, he worsened the injury and could not proceed, allowing Fils to advance.
