Wimbledon defending champion Vondrousova suffers first-round exit

LONDON, July 2 (Xinhua) -- The women's singles defending champion Marketa Vondrousova was ousted from the Wimbledon Championships after losing to Jessica Maneiro in the opening round on Tuesday.

One year ago, an unseeded Vondrousova flew high here to clinch her first Grand Slam title. But a return to the Centre Court of the All England Club this year was ended with a painful loss for the 25-year-old Czech.
