LONDON : Teenage starlet Coco Gauff slipped on the slipperiest of Wimbledon banana skins on Monday, sliding out of the first round with an opening day defeat to Sofia Kenin that was more missed opportunity than shock result.

Both players have been ranked as high as world number four, before injury and illness took its toll on Kenin, and there was little to choose between the two on a chilly night on Wimbledon's Court One. Moscow-born Floridian Kenin had begun the stronger, the 24-year-old flying out of the traps with a barrage of ground strokes taken super-early or at the top of the bounce, clattering them away for winners against her on-the-back-foot teenage opponent.
