Wimbledon: Cancer survivor Duval weeps on comeback

London - 20-year-old American was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma during the 2014 Wimbledon qualifying stages

Vicky Duval was reduced to tears as she returned to Wimbledon for the first time since getting a clean bill of health following her battle with cancer.
Duval was only a teenager when she was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma during the 2014 Wimbledon qualifying stages.
After undergoing chemotherapy, the 20-year-old American is healthy again and her appearance in the grass-court Grand Slam on Monday was a major boost to her a comeback, which has also been hampered by a knee injury.
Duval, tipped for the top until the illness struck, is a lowly 572nd in the world rankings as she tries to work her way back to peak form.
And the emotion of returning to Wimbledon proved too much as she sobbed on court after just three games of her 6-0, 7-5 loss to Russia's Daria Kasatkina. "At about 3-0 in the first set, I just felt really overwhelmed," Duval said.
"Obviously I'm super happy to be here but inside I was driving myself crazy. It took a set to get me out of it. In the second set I pulled a towel over my head in case something was going to happen.
"I was like, 'I don't want anybody to look at me'. It was just a lot of emotions."
