Vondrousova became only the second defending champion to exit the women’s singles in the first round.
REIGNING WIMBLEDON CHAMPION Marketa Vondrousova joined Steffi Graf in the history books after she lost in straight sets to Jessica Bouzas Maneiro to suffer a shock first-round exit.
Advertisement It made Vondrousova only the second defending women’s Wimbledon champion to crash out in the first round after Graf did in 1994 to Lori McNeil. World number six Vondrousova insisted ahead of the tournament she was fully fit, but she had three double-faults in her first service game as she was broken immediately.
Vondrousova sent down another double-fault at the start of the second to be broken again and appeared to be growing frustrated with her ailing health.
