Australian qualifier Kimberly Birrell has sprung a surprise at the Eastbourne Open, tipping out 2020 Australian Open champion and world No.29 Sofia Kenin in straight sets.
Birrell, 27, the world No.77, bounced back from a first-round exit at Nottingham last week to put out Kenin, of the United States, 6-4 6-4 in the pre-Wimbledon tournament.
