Former champion Rybakina crashes out of Wimbledon

- Tauson, 22 and seeded 23rd, won 7-6 , 6-3 in two hours and 16 minutes, crediting her persistence and hard work for the victory in a match paused twice for rain.
- Rybakina committed 31 unforced errors, including a crucial forehand long on match point, making this her worst Wimbledon result since winning the title in 2022.
- This loss highlights a frustrating season for Rybakina amid rising young contenders like Tauson and Mirra Andreeva, who reached the last 16 without dropping a set.
