Tennis: Tearful defending champion Krejcikova knocked out of Wimbledon

# Tennis: Barbora Krejcikova’s reign as Wimbledon champion came to a tearful end on Saturday as the Czech slumped to a 2-6, 6-3, 6-4 defeat against American tenth seed Emma Navarro. Krejcikova appeared to be struggling with injury in the closing stages and wept on Court One as Navarro took advantage to cause the latest upset in the women’s tournament following the exits of five of the top six seeds. The two-time Grand Slam champion has endured a difficult time since defeating Italy’s Jasmine Paolini in the Wimbledon final last year.
