American Sofia Kenin: Katie Boulter suffered an early exit in the second round of the Italian Open women's singles after a 6-4 7-6 (10-8) defeat to Slovakian qualifier Rebecca Sramkova.

Early in the opening set, Boulter--seeded 26th, was broken twice by the 120th-ranked player due to her lack of rhythm. Although the world number one from Britain was able to steal a break back, Sramkova was able to end the first set.

Despite trailing by two breaks early in the second set, Boulter battled back and wasted a chance to tie the match at 5-4. In the tie-break, the 27-year-old saved three match points, and Sramkova won in two hours and seven minutes.
