London-The third seeded Jessica Pegula was turned upside down in the first round in Wimbledon on Tuesday, losing 6-2, 6-3 at the 116th Elisabetta Cocciretto for the first outing of the American during a Grand Chelem tournament in five years.
Pegula, the world n ° 3, entered the All England Club after winning the Bad Homburg Open in Grass-Court in Germany on Saturday when she beat Iga Swiatek in two sets.
The last time she lost in the first round during a major tournament was the French Open in 2020.
Cocciatto, whose classification has dropped in recent months, said it was “to be more aggressive and to go there, do not think of losing or winning the point”.
“I played a very good champion. She is an incredible player, she is an excellent example for all of us,” said the 24 -year -old Italian in her interview on the field after her first career victory.
PEGULA, a quarter -final of Wimbledon in 2023, only reached five winners and made 24 uns forked errors.
His only other defeat in the first round at the All England Club was at its beginnings in 2019.
Pegula has reached five single finals this year – secondly behind the seven of the Aryna Sabalenka, the most classified.
