LONDON (Reuters) -American Madison Keys did not let an ailing opponent, underarm serve or the furnace-like conditions on Wimbledon's Court 2 distract her from notching up a 6-7(4) 7-5 7-5 win over Elena-Gabriela Ruse in the first round of Wimbledon on Monday.
Keys' hopes of extending her perfect 10-0 first-round record at the All England Club appeared to be in jeopardy when her Romanian rival bagged the first set with some sizzling shots from the baseline.
