For a third straight year, Leylah Fernandez has failed to move past the second round at Wimbledon. The 29th-seeded Canadian fell 6-2, 6-3 to Germany's Laura Siegemund on Wednesday at the All England Club.

On Wednesday, she was dispatched swiftly by the unseeded Siegemund, double-faulting four times while failing to make an ace. Fernandez could not convert on any of her three break-point opportunities while being broken four times in seven chances herself. Siegemund will face sixth-seeded American Madison Keys in Round 3.
Meanwhile, Canada's Gabriel Diallo had a closer second-round match, but ultimate lost 3-6, 6-3, 7-6 (0), 4-6, 6-3 to No. 5 seed Taylor Fritz of the U.S. It was a very respectable result for Diallo in his first year in the Wimbledon main draw. The Montrealer has moved up to No. 40 in the world. He has lost in the second round in all three Grand Slams this year.
