Madison Keys, ranked No. 6, fell in the third round at Wimbledon after losing in straight sets to Laura Siegemund, 6-3, 6-3, on Friday. The unseeded Siegemund will advance to the round of 16 with the decisive upset.<\/p>\n
The German player established an early lead in the first frame as Keys failed to close the gap and dropped the set. The second set had a similar theme as Keys tried to climb out of a 5-3 hole, but Siegemund shut the door and took the victory.<\/p>\n
At 37, Siegemund is the oldest woman still alive in the round of 16. Siegemund has yet to drop a set in the tournament, acing her first two matches against Peyton Stearns and Leylah Fernandez. She will take on Solana Sierra on Sunday for a spot in the quarterfinals.<\/p>\n
