Wimbledon 2024: Bouzas Maneiro Shocks Women's Defending Champion Vondrousova
Jessica Bouzas Maneiro: Jessica Bouzas Maneiro of Spain pulled off a huge upset on Centre Court of Wimbledon on Tuesday, toppling the women's defending champion Marketa Vondrousova of the Czech Republic in straight sets in their first-round showdown. Playing in only the third Grand Slam main draw of her career, World No.83 Bouzas Maneiro earned her first Grand Slam main draw victory by ousting Vondrousova 6-4, 6-2 in just 67 minutes.
The Spaniard converted all five of her break points to complete the feat.
No.6 seed Vondrousova became only the second defending champion to lose in the first round of Wimbledon in the Open Era. The other time it happened at Wimbledon was 30 years ago when former Top 10 player Lori McNeil defeated three-time defending champion Stefanie Graf in the 1994 opening round.
