Alexander Zverev led a strong show at Wimbledon 2024 on Tuesday, though World No. 6 Andrey Rublev became the highest-ranked player to exit the tournament so far.

Fourth-seeded Zverev delivered a commanding performance on No. 1 Court, dispatching Roberto Carballes Baena 6-2, 6-4, 6-2 to reach the second round for the seventh time in eight appearances. The German showcased his powerful game with 46 winners, including 18 aces, making a statement in his opening match at an event where he has yet to reach the quarterfinals.
