2019 Wimbledon championship Women's singles 2nd Round - Defending champion Angelique Kerber loses to Lauren Davis

After losing in the qualifying round, Lauren Davis needed luck to make the Wimbledon bracket. Now she’s made the most of her break as a lucky loser with the biggest upset of the tournament.

Facing defending champion Angelique Kerber, the 25-year-old American stormed back to earn a 2-6, 6-2, 6-1 win in the second round on Thursday July 04,2019

Davis, who entered the tournament unseeded and ranked No 95 by WTA , battled a left ankle injury during the first set and overcame a slow start. But with 39 winners in the last two sets, she looked dominant as she ran away with the match.
