The defending champion, Barbora Krejcikova, exited No 1 Court to rousing applause after struggling through injuries in her 2-6, 6-3, 6-4 loss against the No 10 seed, Emma Navarro, in which she became increasingly distressed and broke down in tears towards the end.
It is only the third time the women’s defending champion has lost in the third round in the Open era, after Venus Williams in 2006 and Petra Kvitova in 2015.
