Brace yourselves for a Wimbledon shocker! Serbia’s Aleksandra Krunic and Dutchwoman Suzan Lamens have crashed out in the first round of the women’s doubles event! Yes, you read that right — gone after just one match! They were defeated by the Russian-Hungarian duo Irina Khromacheva and Fanny Stollar, 6-3, 7-6 (7-2), after a grueling hour and 20 minutes on court. Despite their best efforts, Krunic and Lamens couldn’t secure a spot in the second round. The 13th-seeded Khromacheva and Stollar will now face the winners of the clash between Belarusian-American pair Victoria Azarenka and Ashlyn Krueger, and the Belgian-Romanian duo Greet Minnen and Monica Niculescu. This is yet another painful blow for Serbian women’s tennis, which recently suffered a setback when Olga Danilovic, ranked 37th in the WTA, lost in the singles second round to world number eight Madison Keys, 6-4, 6-2. Is this a sign that Serbian women’s tennis desperately needs a reboot? Or just bad luck at Wimbledon? It’s time to ask — where are our ladies, and why can’t they break through at the biggest tournaments? Got thoughts? Don’t hold back — maybe your hot take or support will spark the comeback we all want to see!
