Japan's Miyu Kato and Indonesia's Aldila Sutjiadi went out in the women's doubles third round at Wimbledon on Monday after being beaten 7-5, 7-6(4) by Hsieh Su-Wei of Taiwan and Barbora Strycova of the Czech Republic.
Kato and Sutjiadi clawed their way back from three games down in both sets but eventually lost in 1 hour, 38 minutes. It was their second straight third-round exit at a Grand Slam after they were handed a controversial default at the French Open in June, when Kato accidentally hit a ball girl with a ball.
"We had chances but we were always on the back foot," Kato said. "We might have both got a bit nervous. There were some positives while playing on the grass...(but) it's frustrating."
"We want to get stronger by the time we return at the U.S. Open."
