Wimbledon 2026 produced upsets that redrew both draws, and this page collects them. Naomi Osaka stuns Aryna Sabalenka to reopen the grass-court conversation, Alexandra Eala shocks Swiatek and rewrites the map of the women's draw, and Novak Djokovic passes Federer with a record 66th major quarter-final. The British story belongs to Arthur Fery's unexpected run, while Nick Kyrgios turns a doubles farewell into a career marker, Serena Williams' withdrawal turns a reunion into a fragility story, and Coco Gauff's two-minute curfew escape shows what pressure tennis really looks like.
Naomi Osaka's straight-sets win over top seed Aryna Sabalenka and Novak Djokovic's record 106th Wimbledon victory made day seven the fortnight's pivot.
Naomi Osaka's 6-2, 7-6 defeat of the top seed sends her into a first Wimbledon quarter-final — and forces a rethink of her relationship with grass.

A straight-sets doubles defeat on Court 17 became a farewell as Kyrgios said this was probably his last Wimbledon, closing a brilliant, volatile chapter.
