Second seed Jelena Jankovic is out of Wimbledon. She's lost to Tamarine Tanasugarn 6-3 6-2 in the fourth round. Her injured knee let her down. At least she can blame it on an injury. The fact that she had to play early in the day, despite an ailing injury, obviously did not help.
Maria Sharapova's (third seed) defeat by Alla Kudryavtseva in the second round was complete humiliation. She lost 2-6 4-6. She just never got into the game. Her loyal supporters feel bitterly betrayed. What's happened to her?
Ana Ivanovic, the top seed, crashed out of the third round, beaten by Jie Zheng (world number 133) 6-1 6-4. Her exucuse? She was recovering from her French Open win, and failed to take time to adjust to grass.
So all the top three seeds are out. Upsets are always to be expected. But this is too much!
