The seeds just can't stop tumbling out of Wimbledon and on Monday it
was the turn of world No.1 and five-time champion Serena Williams to
experience that sinking feeling.
The American crashed out of the grass court grand slam in the last-16
following a shock defeat by Germany'sSabine Lisicki -- her first
reverse in 34 matches.
Favorite for the title, Williams lost the opening set 6-2 before
roaring back tolevel a pulsating contest by taking thesecond 6-1.
But Lisicki, seeded 23rd at the tournament, produced one of the
greatest performances of her career, coming from a break down to take
thefinal set 6-4 and send shockwaves through tennis.
