French Open champion Coco Gauff came a cropper under the Court One roof as the bottom half of the Wimbledon women’s draw was blown open by the elimination of three of the top five seeds.

Just 24 days since lifting the title at Roland Garros, second seed Gauff was stunned 7-6 (3) 6-1 by Ukrainian world number 42 Dayana Yastremska in a major upset.
