Kaja Juvan upset favoured Beatriz Haddad Maia 6-4, 4-6, 6-2 in the first round of Wimbledon on grass on 27 June 2022. Haddad Maia entered as the pre-match favourite with odds of 1.3, but Juvan's 3.87 outsider status proved justified as she recovered from losing the second set to dominate the decider. The Slovenian's grass-court performance was decisive in the final set, where she secured a commanding victory to advance. Juvan's upset win represents a significant scalp early in the tournament and suggests improved form on the surface.
