US Edition"This Has Become a Joke" - Denis Shapovalov Furiously Lashes Out at 'Worst' Wimbledon Condition After Shock Defeat
- Denis Shapovalov lost in the first round of Wimbledon on Tuesday, July 1, 2025, to unseeded Argentine Mariano Navone in London.
- Shapovalov’s early exit resulted from his 3-6, 6-4, 6-1, 6-4 loss while struggling with 11 double faults and dissatisfaction with slow court conditions.
- Despite winning the first set, Shapovalov was broken six times and expressed frustration about the balls and court, calling the grass tour "a joke."
- Shapovalov criticized the quality of the balls and described the grass courts as unexpectedly slow, suggesting that the current state of the grass season, particularly Wimbledon, requires significant improvements.
- This marks Shapovalov’s earliest Wimbledon exit since 2019, contrasting with his 2021 semifinal appearance, while fellow Canadians Fernandez, Auger-Aliassime, and Diallo remain active.
