Wimbledon champ Vondrousova out in first round

LONDON — Marketa Vondrousova became the first defending women's Wimbledon champion in 30 years to lose in the first round on Tuesday while Novak Djokovic and Iga Swiatek cruised through.

It was a painful day for Czech sixth seed Vondrousova, whose time in the Wimbledon spotlight was cut cruelly short in a chastening 6-4, 6-2 defeat to Spain's unheralded Jessica Bouzas Maneiro.

Vondrousova is only the second defending champion to lose in the first round at the All England Club in the Open Era.
