Canadians Exit Wimbledon

It was a disappointing day for Canadians at Wimbledon. Not only did Milos have to retire because of an injury, but both Rebecca Marino and Stephanie Dubois lost their second round matches today.

Marino was looking good at the start of her match with No.29 seed Roberta Vinci (ITA), taking an early 3-0 lead. But Vinci would fight her way back win the first set in a tiebreak. From there, Marino couldn't clean up the errors in her game and Vinci took the match in straight sets. (Match Stats)

Dubois split sets with No.11 seed Andrea Petkovic (GER), but quickly found herself down 0-5 in the deciding third set. She was able to get one break back, but Petkovic proved to be the stronger player and closed the match out as the light began to fade. (Match Stats)

Fans have been looking forward to the possible matchup between Raonic and Nadal in the third round, but it won't be happening unfortunately. It is not yet clear how serious of an injury Milos sustained during his match today. There is speculation that he may not be able to represent Canada in the 2nd Round of Davis Cup beginning July 8.
