Stefanos Tsitsipas has retired from his first-round match at Wimbledon after receiving an on-court medical time-out. The 24th seed called the physio in the middle of the second set and received treatment on his back. He played on but lost the second set to qualifier Valentin Royer and sat on his bench, deliberating whether to continue.
The 24th seed appeared to be asking his new coach, 2001 Wimbledon champion Goran Ivanisevic, for advice before speaking with the umpire and quitting the match. Royer advances with a scoreline of 6-3 6-2 ret. This marks the world No. 113’s first-ever tour-level match win.
