WIMBLEDON — Canada’s Carson Branstine saw her Grand Slam debut end Monday with a first-round loss to world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka of Belarus, falling 6-1, 7-5 at Wimbledon.
Branstine fired seven aces and matched Sabalenka with 17 winners, but the Canadian committed 26 unforced errors and was unable to convert her lone break-point chance.
The 23-year-old, ranked 194th in the world, earned her spot through last week’s qualifying tournament at the All England Club.
Branstine, who was born in California but represents Canada through family ties in Toronto, was one of four Canadians in singles action Monday.
