Garbine Muguruza, the world number two and French Open champion, got knocked out of Wimbledon on Thursday after losing in straight sets to Jana Cepelova.
A below-par Muguruza, who was runner-up to Serena Williams last year, lost 6-3, 6-2 to Slovak qualifier Cepelova, the world number 124, in just 59 minutes.
It was the same arena where the 23-year-old Cepelova had defeated Simona Halep last year, a result which illustrated the Slovak's liking for the big time -- having also seen off Williams in Charleston in 2014.
"I deserved to win. I'm so happy," said Cepelova.
Spanish 22-year-old Muguruza was bidding to become only the eighth woman to win the French Open and Wimbledon back to back.
But she was undone by 22 unforced errors and hitting just nine winners in a flat performance.
In another match, Agnieszka Radwanska - the World No. 3 - defeated Ana Konjuh 6-2, 4-6, 9-7 to advance to third round.ÂÂ
