Summary
- Denis Shapovalov retired from Wimbledon due to a left shoulder injury.
- The injury occurred during his first-round match against Pablo Carreno Busta.

Canada's Denis Shapovalov was forced to retire from his Wimbledon first-round match on Monday due to a left shoulder injury. The incident occurred during his match against Spain's Pablo Carreno Busta, whom Shapovalov was trailing 6-3, 7-6 (7) at the time.
Shapovalov sustained the injury while attempting to reach a shot late in the second-set tiebreak. After receiving medical attention during a timeout, he attempted to play one more point before conceding the match. Prior to the injury, Shapovalov had recorded 14 aces but struggled with his first serve accuracy, landing only 53 percent.
This marks Carreno Busta's first victory at the All England Club. Other Canadian players scheduled for first-round singles action on the same day included Félix Auger-Aliassime, Leylah Fernandez, and Bianca Andreescu.
