Mirra Andreeva, who won the French Open in June, is eliminated from Wimbledon in the second round after losing to former champion Barbora Krejcikova. Multiple outlets report that the match ends in a turnaround for Krejcikova, who secures victory after Andreeva fails to carry her Roland Garros momentum onto the grass. Reports describe Andreeva as being a rising star entering Wimbledon following her maiden Grand Slam title in Paris, but she is unable to advance past the early stage of the tournament.
ABC Australia and India Today add that Andreeva is visibly emotional after the loss, with one report describing her leaving tears. NDTV similarly characterizes the outcome as a shock defeat. According to India Today, Krejcikova records a 4-6, 7-5, 6-4 win over two hours and 47 minutes. The result also ties back to Krejcikova’s prior success at Wimbledon, with reporting noting she previously won the title two years earlier.
