Former Australian Open champion Sofia Kenin’s disappointing year hit another low when she was eliminated in the second round at Wimbledon by Madison Brengle, 6-2, 6-4.

Kenin struggled with her serve and had 41 unforced errors to seven by the steady Brengle, an American ranked 82nd.

Kenin won the Australian Open in 2020 and was the runner-up at the French Open last October. But she’s only 11-10 this year, and lost in the second round of a major for the fifth time.

Brengle, who saved four match points in the first round, beat a top 10 opponent for the first time in more than four years.
