Draper's upset comes during a tournament full of them. Wimbledon has seen some big names exit early in 2025, including No. 2 Coco Gauff, No. 3 Jessica Pegula and No. 3 Alexander Zverev. Draper is the latest big name to be eliminated from the event prematurely.

The 36-year-old Cilic, the 2014 U.S. Open champion and 2017 Wimbledon runner-up, stunned fourth-seeded Jack Draper 6-4, 6-3, 1-6, 6-4 in a second-round match on No. 1 Court to eliminate the top British player from the grass-court Grand Slam tournament.

Jack Draper crashed out of Wimbledon to the world No83 Marin Cilic as he was beaten in a four-set thriller on Court No1, 6-4 6-3 1-6 6-4. Draper had worked his way up the rankings to No4 in the world and had a decent draw, so plenty had tipped him to go far in the tournament.
