Defending Champion Vondrousova Upset in Wimbledon Opener

Defending Wimbledon champion Marketa Vondrousova experienced a shocking first-round exit, losing to Spain's Jessica Bouzas Maneiro in straight sets, 6-4, 6-2. This defeat makes Vondrousova only the second defending women's champion to be ousted in the first round since Steffi Graf in 1994. Bouzas Maneiro, ranked 83rd in the world, secured her first Grand Slam victory, capitalizing on Vondrousova’s numerous errors and recent hip injury. Despite her recent success at the French Open, Vondrousova struggled physically and failed to maintain her form. Bouzas Maneiro will advance to face either Cristina Bucsa or Ana Bogdan in the next round.
