Nicolas Jarry on Monday completed a stunning comeback to knock Holger Rune out of the Wimbledon tournament. Jarry lost the first two sets but turned the game around in sensational fashion to win 4-6, 4-6, 7-5, 6-3, 6-4.

What looked like a certain ticket to the next round, turned into an early exit for Holger Rune at Wimbledon. 

The eighth-seeded Dane won the first two sets against Chilean qualifier Nicolas Jarry, who is ranked 143 in the world, but squandered his comfortable lead and lost in five sets 6-4, 6-4, 5-7, 3-6, 4-6.

Rune seemed completely in control in the first part of the match, but when he lost an even third set, the match tipped in favor of the well-serving Jarry.

Especially during the fourth set, Rune seemed to suffer in the heat and he also received treatment on his knee.

He found a little more energy in the fifth set, where things were even, until Jarry broke Rune's serve to lead 5-4 and subsequently served home the match.
