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.

Gauff and Pegula join a record-breaking exodus of top seeds during the first round at Wimbledon. With both Americans out of the draw, it's the first time in Open Era history that two of the top three women's seeds exit in the first round of a major.
