French Open champion Coco Gauff was knocked out of Wimbledon in the first round on a day of shocks at the All England Club.

The American second seed was stunned 7-6 (7-3) 6-1 by Ukraine world number 42 Daryana Yastremska on a packed Court One under the roof.

Gauff, 21, was predicted to go far at SW19 following her triumph at Roland Garros less than a month ago.

But a performance strewn with double faults and unforced errors handed Yastremska a rare opportunity against the world number two and she grasped it with both hands to reach the second round.

The shock result follows first-round exits for fellow top-five seeds Jessica Pegula and Zheng Qinwen on day two at the Championships.
