Angelique Kerber’s defence of her Wimbledon title came to an early end after being knocked out in the second round by lucky loser Lauren Davis 2-6, 6-2, 6-1 on Thursday. Davis has now equalled her best previous performance at Wimbledon in reaching the third round where she will play Spanish 30th seed Carla Suarez Navarro for a place in the last 16. “This means everything as it is what I work for,” said Davis. “I was a bit nervous and I slid and hurt my foot in the first set. “Yeah its been a tough journey and a process of learning and growing as a player and person,” she said.
