Defending US Open and Australian Open champion  and second seed Naomi  Osaka fell to Yulia Putintseva, 7-6 (4), 6-2. This defeat coming after her disappointing French Open left Osaka in tears as she clearly struggles to handles the pressures that come with being a top player.

 Sixth seed Sascha Zverev had never lost in the first round at Wimbledon before Monday, but he still described his 4-6, 6-3, 6-2, 7-5 loss to Czech qualifier Jiri Vesely as “typical”.  “One or two things don’t go my way, and everything kind of a little bit falls apart,” Zverev said. “It was kind of a typical Grand Slam match for me.”

“I’m not very high on confidence right now. When I get to the important moments, I had, what, five, six break points in the fourth set alone? Can’t take any of those. I had a 0/40, a 15/40. I’m down one break point myself and he takes it immediately, where I miss an easy volley,” Zverev said, describing match point in the fourth set. “I didn’t lose this match on tennis. It’s just my confidence is below zero right now.”

French Open finalist Dominic Thiem was upset by big serving Sam Querrey. The American won 6-7(6), 7-6(1), 6-3, 6-0 in two hours and 29 minutes

Two things are certain in life – death and taxes.  You should add a third item to the list – annual griping about how Wimbledon allocates seeds in the men’s draw.

Wimbledon does not use ATP rankings for its seeding.  Here is Wimbledon’s formula.

1. Start with a player’s ATP ranking points.
2. Add bonus points for performance on grass (100% of points from grass court tournaments for the previous 12 months + 75% of points from the best grass event from the 12 months before that).

This formula only applies to men.  Let the complaining begin.
