Marketa Vondrousova's hopes of defending her title at Wimbledon came to a crushing end on Tuesday after she was knocked out of the first round in a loss to Jessica Bouzas Maneiro.
Marketa Vondrousova suffered a historic loss at Wimbledon on Tuesday, becoming the first defending champion to drop in the first round since Steffi Graf did so in 1994. Vondrousova, 25, won her first Grand Slam at the All England Club last year when she became the first unseeded ladies single player to win at Wimbledon when she defeated Ons Jabeur in the final. She admitted after Tuesday’s match that she entered this year’s tournament feeling a sense of pressure.

Vondrousova entered Wimbledon ranked No. 6. While last year’s win put Vondrousova’s name in the history books, this year’s loss did the same. She is the first player in 30 years to lose in the first round of Wimbledon after winning the tournament the year before.
