The opening day of Wimbledon 2025 delivered a mix of thrilling matches and surprise retirements at the All England Lawn Tennis Club. American sixth seed Madison Keys staged a remarkable comeback to defeat Romania's Elena-Gabriela Ruse in a tense three-set showdown.
Chile's Nicolas Jarry stunned eighth-seed Holger Rune with a relentless comeback, overcoming a two-set deficit to prevail in a marathon match that lasted over three and a half hours. Jarry's 31 aces played a crucial role in securing his victory.
