Has any pro tennis player won a match after having lost a set 0-6?

Yes, there have been several instances of professional tennis players winning a match after losing the first set 0-6. Some notable examples include:

  • Novak Djokovic defeated Roger Federer in the 2019 Wimbledon final after dropping the first set 0-6.
  • Rafael Nadal overcame a 0-6 first-set deficit to defeat Daniil Medvedev in the 2019 US Open final.
  • Serena Williams lost the first set 0-6 to Maria Sharapova in the 2015 Wimbledon final, but rallied to win in three sets.
  • Roger Federer came back from a 0-6 first-set loss to defeat Juan Martin del Potro in the 2012 Wimbledon semi-finals.
  • Steffi Graf lost the first set 0-6 to Gabriela Sabatini in the 1988 Wimbledon final, but went on to win the match in three sets.

These examples demonstrate that it is possible for a player to overcome a 0-6 first-set deficit and still win a match. However, it is a rare occurrence, and it requires a combination of mental toughness, physical resilience, and tactical adjustment.
