Wimbledon champ Vondrousova bounced in Australian Open

MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — Wimbledon champion Marketa Vondrousova was dumped out of the Australian Open in the first round on Sunday, beaten 6-1, 6-2 by Dayana Yastremska.

The seventh-seeded Vondrousova missed the Adelaide tune-up event with a hip injury and struggled on serve throughout, hitting seven double faults as she was dominated by the world’s No. 93-ranked player.

Yastremska, who had lost in the first round in her past seven Grand Slam appearances, had 26 winners. 

In other early play, 19th-seeded Elina Svitolina advanced to the second round, beating Taylah Preston, a wild-card entry from Australia, 6-2, 6-2.
