#3. Garbine Muguruza’s defeat to Jana Cepelova
The young Spaniard made it to the headlines by reaching the final in last year’s Wimbledon where she lost to Serena WIilliams. Muguruza recorded her first Grand Slam victory in this year’s Roland Garros after beating Williams in straight sets. Muguruza was World No.2 coming into Wimbledon and was one of the top contenders for the title. In the first round, Muguruza survived a scare from Italian Camila Giorgi to win the match 6-2, 5-7, 6-4.In the second round, Muguruza was up against Slovak qualifier Jane Cepelova who was ranked 127 in the world. Cepelova had previously beaten Simona Halep in the first round of last year’s Wimbledon. Cepelova was cruising through the first set and though Muguruza was trying to stage a comeback, her resilience just wasn’t enough as the 23-year old took the first set 6-3.The Slovak then showed Muguruza the door by taking the second set 6-2. It was the end of the tournament for last year’s runner-up who had lost in the third round of the Australian Open to Barbora Strycova by the same scoreline. Cepelova faced last year’s French Open runner-up Lucie Safarova in the next round and put up a tough fight before losing 6-4, 1-6, 10-12.
