With the win, Cocciaretto will advance to the second round at Wimbledon for the third time in her career. She made it as far as the third round in 2023, but missed the tournament in 2024 due to an illness.

Third-ranked Jessica Pegula thought she was done with first-round hiccups. Then she faced Elisabetta Cocciaretto, who needed just 58 minutes to stun the American 6-2, 6-3 at Wimbledon on Tuesday. It was the third-seeded Pegula's earliest exit at a Grand Slam tournament in five years.
