一场不期而遇的降雨将李娜的状态“浇灭”。6月27日,继去年温网之后,中国金花再度止步该项赛事第二轮。3比6、4比6,面对此前两度战胜过的罗马尼亚人科斯蒂亚,李娜全场被动,而她也用这样一个令人“惊异”的比分完成了自己在本届温网的征程。
Chinese tennis star Li Na is making an early exit from the Wimbledon championships. Her Grand Slam slump continued with a 6-3, 6-4 second round defeat to unseeded Romanian Sorana Cirstea.
The 11th seeded Li became the first Asian player to win a Grand Slam at the 2011 French Open. But since then, she has failed to get past the fourth round of any of the big four tournaments.
Elsewhere compatriot Peng Shuai piled on the misery for Japan by downing Ayumi Morita as Tatsuma Ito and veteran Kimiko Date-Krumm also went crashing out.
The 2011 U-S Open champion Stosur suffered a 6-2, 0-6, 6-4 second round beating from Dutch player Arantxa Rus. The Australian lost six games in a row to surrender the first set before turning around and winning six straight to force the match into a decider.
But that's as far as Stosur would go, she's out early at Wimbledon. Seventh seed Caroline Wozniacki took on Austrian Tamira Paszek in a first round match that started on Tuesday and was stopped again by rain on Wednesday. Paszek served for the match at 5-3 in the decider.
Wozniacki survived with a service break, only to drop her serve in the next game. The world number 37 Paszek wins it, 5-7, 7-6, 6-4. Kim Clijsters eased into the third round with a win over Andrea Hlavackova of the Czech Republic 6-3, 6-3. Clijsters never faced a break point and broke her opponent's serve three times, including one in the final game.
On the men's side, Roger Federer was the star on Centre Court on Wednesday. He moved into the Wimbledon third round with an easy 6-1, 6-3, 6-2 win over Italy's Fabio Fognini.
Andy Roddick advanced to the second round with an efficient 7-6, 6-4, 7-5 victory over British wildcard Jamie Baker. The players returned to the court on Wednesday to complete another match stopped by rain.
Novak Djokovic eased into the third round with a routine 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 triumph over American Ryan Harrison under the closed roof of the Centre Court.
