WIMBLEDON — Denis Shapovalov, of Richmond Hill, Ont., was upset in the first round at Wimbledon on Tuesday, falling 3-6, 6-4, 6-1, 6-4 to Argentina’s Mariano Navone.

The 27th seed double-faulted 11 times and won just 53 per cent of his second-serve points.

It’s Shapovalov’s earliest exit at the All England Club since 2019.
