Leylah Fernandez lost to a 133rd-ranked wild-card entry in her first Grand Slam tennis match since her runner-up finish at the US Open.
The 19-year-old Canadian player had an upset loss to Maddison Inglis in the first round of the Australian Open on Tuesday, the third straight year she has failed to progress to the second round at the first tennis major of the year.
Inglis was 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 She lost in the first round to the defending champion at the Australian Open.
The venue and the vibe were far from where she was in the final at the US Open. The two players were scheduled to play later Tuesday.
Navigating the first round at a major can be difficult.
The third-seeded Muguruza kept a perfect streak intact when she won her first-round match at the Australian Open for the 10th straight time.
A runner-up in Australia in 2020 to Kenin -- who was a first-round loser on Monday -- Muguruza said she's always extra cautious early in a big tournament.
When asked if she knew her streak, Muguruza said she was aware. It's very difficult. You're always nervous when you start a Grand Slam campaign. I've been through the first round before.
I was very happy with the way I played.
The third-seeded Muguruza will play the second-seeded Alize Cornet.
Kontaveit was runner-up to Muguruza at last year's WTA Finals. Iga Swiatek, the 2020 French Open champion, opened with a 6-3, 6-0 win over the 123rd-ranked British player.
The other two women who advanced were Simona Halep, a two-time major winner, and No. 10 Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova, a two-time major winner.
The 19th-ranked Mertens beat Vera Zvonareva in the first round, while the former US Open champion Sam Stosur defeated Robin Anderson.
Two-time Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova lost to Sorana Cirstea in the first round for the second year in a row.
"I think that she likes my game, that she just is going for it, I think," Kvitova said. It was difficult to practice during home month because I had some health issues.
I hope that it will turn around because the season is long.
