Wimbledon 2016: Five biggest upsets from Week 1

#4. Dominic Thiem’s defeat to Jiri Vesey

Thiem had a disappointing outing at the Wimbledon after reaching the semi-finals at Roland Garros

The 22-year old Austrian has had a terrific year so far, having won four ATP titles and reaching his first Grand Slam semi-final at the Roland Garros before being ousted by eventual winner Novak Djokovic. His performance at Roland Garros gave him a place in the top 10 of the ATP rankings for the first time. Thiem was seeded 8th in the Wimbledon and was expected to continue his form from Roland Garros as he had won the Mercedes Cup, beating Roger Federer in the final.Thiem began his tournament with a straight set win over 2012 quarter-finalist Florian Mayer. In the second round, Thiem was up against Czech Republic’s Jiri Vesely. The match was a tightly contested one as all the sets were decided by a tiebreak. The World No.49 held his nerve to beat the Roland Garros semi-finalist in straight sets. It was only the second top 10 win of his career for Vesely who has recorded his best performance at a Grand Slam by beating 31st seeded Portuguese Joao Sousa in the third round. He now takes on 2010 runner-up and World No.10 Tomas Berdych.
