Wimbledon 2018: Madison Keys Loses in the Third Round

WIMBLEDON, England — Madison Keys became the latest top-10 seeded woman to lose at Wimbledon, falling to the Russian qualifier Evgeniya Rodina, 7-5, 5-7, 6-4, in the third round on Friday.

Keys fought back from a set and two breaks down only to falter near the end.

In a match full of big swings, the 10th-seeded Keys led by 5-2 in the first set before the 120th-ranked Rodina won the next nine games to go 4-0 up in the second. But Keys won the next five games and broke again to level the set score. She then broke back to level the third set at 4-4, but Rodina immediately earned another break and served out the victory.
