A mountain to climb for Luksika at Wimbledon

Thai No 1 Luksika Kumkhum has been assigned to a daunting task at Wimbledon as she is to face world No 17 Madison Keys in a rematch of their second round 12 months ago.

 

After the drawing ceremony on Friday, the 107^th ranked Thai is to take on the hard-hitting American  who sent her packing 6-4 6-3 in the round of 64 last year.

 

The Thai leads the American 2-1 in their head-to-head series with two wins coming from hard-court events in Auckland 2013 and Osaka in 2014.

 

The bad news is Luksika has been in dismal run this year, winning only one out of 10 matches.
