Italian fifth seed Sara Errani became Wimbledon's first major victim on Monday when she slumped to a 6-3, 6-2 defeat to Puerto Rican teenager Monica Puig.

Puig, 19, the world number 65, who is playing a grasscourt tournament for the first time as a professional, goes on to face either Japan's Misaki Doi or Silvia Soler Espinosa of Spain.
