At this Stage

The day's biggest women's upset turned on one wretched moment. Maja Chwalińska — the 20th seed, a wild card riding her 2026 French Open quarter-final run — led Mananchaya Sawangkaew 6-2 5-2 and stood at match point when she slipped and injured her right leg. From there the Pole won only three more games, and the Thai qualifier, ranked outside the top 150 on her Wimbledon main-draw debut, completed the 2-6 7-5 6-2 escape in 2 hours 39 minutes. Fortune opened the door; Sawangkaew kept walking through it, beating Alycia Parks in the second round to extend the debut run.
