Wimbledon 2024 is serving up drama ! No. 11 seed Stefanos Tsitsipas crashed out early Thursday in a nail-biter against Finland’s Emil Ruusuvuori, losing 6-7(8), 6-7(12), 6-3, 3-6. Tsitsipas, a two-time Grand Slam finalist, struggled against the underdog, who’s now scored his first-ever third-round slot at a major. \"This is what Wimbledon dreams are made of,\" fans tweeted as highlights went viral
.
Meanwhile, chaos reigned elsewhere: 20-year-old French phenom Arthur Fils became the youngest from his country to reach Round 3 since 2005, while Novak Djokovic survived a *four-hour* scare against wild card Jacob Fearnley. The 24-time Grand Slam champ admitted: \"He made me earn this victory.\"
China’s Shang Juncheng also fought hard but fell to Grigor Dimitrov in a five-set rollercoaster. With top seeds like Hurkacz and Rublev already packing, this tournament is proving anyone’s game. Who’s next?
