Wardrobe malfunction ruins Aussie’s hopes at Wimbledon

Australian tennis star Daria Kasatkina endured a nightmare Wimbledon outing with a wardrobe malfunction costing her dearly.

Daria's earring got caught in her top.

Wimbledon star Daria Kasatkina lost a point during her clash with Liudmila Samsonova after her earring got stuck in her shirt.

The 16th seed was taking on the 19th seed when the unfortunate wardrobe malfunction occurred, The Sun reports.

After striking a forehand return, Kasatkina’s earring caught her Adidas polo.

The Aussie was unable to free her ear in time to respond to Samsonova’s next ball.

Not quite believing her luck, Russian star Samsonova watched her routine backhand trundle beyond the helpless Kasatkina.

The Aussie couldn’t do anything as play continued.

This incident rather summed up Kasatkina’s outing on the No.3 Court.

The former quarter-finalist here in SW19 was blitzed early on by Samsonova.

Kasatkina trailed 6-2 2-0 40-40 before both players were forced to go off by a rain delay.

At this point umpire Nico Helwerth was wheeled off the court, much to the amusement of fans.

And any thoughts that the break would do Kasatkina some good following her poor start were quickly dispelled.

When play resumed around two hours later, it was much of the same for the 28-year-old.

Kasatkina went on to be beaten 6-2 6-3 by her in-form opponent. Samsonova will next face Jessica Bouzas Maneiro.

The Spaniard defeated Coco Gauff’s conqueror Dayana Yastremska 6-1 2-6 6-3 on Court 16.
