Canada’s Fernandez falls to Germany’s Siegemund in second round at Wimbledon
WIMBLEDON — Canada’s Leylah Fernandez made an early exit from Wimbledon on Wednesday, falling 6-2, 6-3 in second-round play to unseeded Laura Siegemund of Germany.
The 29th seed from of Laval, Que., struggled on serve, landing just 55 per cent of her first attempts and winning 53 per cent of those points. She also double-faulted four times, failed to hit an ace and couldn’t convert any of her three break-point chances.
It marks Fernandez’s third straight second-round departure at the All England Club.
Siegemund, ranked No. 104 in the world, will next face sixth-seeded Madison Keys of the United States.
