Who would have thought this would happen at Wimbledon? Elizabeta Koćareta, an Italian tennis player ranked only 56th in the world, caused a massive upset by knocking out the world’s third-ranked player, Jessica Pegula, with a score of 6-2, 6-3! Yes, you read that right — a shock on the second day of the biggest tennis tournament of the year! Pegula, who just days ago won the Bad Homburg tournament and crushed Swiatek, stood no chance against Koćareta. The Italian dominated with 56 points to Pegula’s 35, and the winner difference was a staggering 17 to 6. Two breaks in the first and second sets were enough for Koćareta to pull off the biggest surprise of Wimbledon so far. Everyone expected Pegula to continue her winning streak, but the opposite happened. This proves that in tennis, you can never underestimate any player, even one far down the ATP/WTA rankings. Now the question is: will Koćareta keep shocking or was this just a flash in the pan? Time will tell, but one thing’s for sure — Wimbledon is already on fire! What do you think? The rise of a new tennis star or just a fluke? Drop a comment and let’s see who’s on which side of the tennis ring!
