Andrey Rublev fell in the first round of the 2024 Wimbledon tournament on Tuesday. The Russian was beaten in almost three hours and four sets (6-4, 5-7, 6-2, 7-6) by Argentina's Francisco Comesana, ranked 122nd in the world, on the grass of Court n°2.
It was a huge disappointment for the current world no. 6, who had reached the quarter-finals last year, losing to Novak Djokovic (4-6, 6-1, 6-4, 6-3). He was thought to be back on track after his Madrid title, but the Russian has won just 3 of the 7 matches he has played since then.
