Markéta Vondroušová’s defense of her Wimbledon title has been ended in the first round after Spain’s Jessica Bouzas Maneiro pulled off a stunning upset to defeat the Czech in straight sets on Tuesday. According to the WTA, Vondroušová is only the second defending women’s champion to be ousted in Wimbledon’s first round in the last 30 years. Bouzas Maneiro picked up what was comfortably the biggest win of her career. She was forced to retire from that Berlin second-round match, which occurred less than two weeks before Wimbledon. But it’s a disappointing loss for Vondroušová, who loses almost 2,000 ranking points as a result and will drop from her No.
