    Arnav Paparkar's Historic Wimbledon Campaign Ends With Quarters Loss To Jordan Lee

    By IANS News July 09, 2026 • 19:28 PM View: 144
    Former India Davis Cup: Arnav Paparkar's dream run at the 2026 Wimbledon Junior Championships came to an end after the Indian teenager suffered a 2-6, 5-7 defeat to the United States' Jordan Lee in the boys' singles quarterfinals on Thursday.

    Despite the defeat, the 18-year-old from Pune scripted history by becoming the first Indian player in 36 years to reach the Wimbledon boys' singles quarterfinals since Leander Paes won the junior title in 1990.

    Paparkar arrived in the last eight on the back of an outstanding campaign, including one of the biggest upsets of the tournament when he knocked out junior World No. 3 Keaton Hance of the United States 6-2, 6-3. He then defeated Japan's Ryo Tabata 6-2, 6-1 to book his maiden Grand Slam junior quarter-final.
