World
number one Serena Williams saw her winning streak and hopes of a
sixth Wimbledon title end with a shock defeat by Germany's Sabine
Lisicki.
Lisicki,
the 23rd seed, won the fourth-round encounter 6-2 1-6 6-4 on Centre
Court.
Williams
joins leading names Maria Sharapova, Victoria Azarenka, Roger Federer
and Rafael Nadal in making an early exit at what has been a
tournament of stunning upsets.
It
was only the third defeat in the last year for Williams, and ends her
career-best winning run of 34 matches, but she insisted afterwards:
"It's not a shock
This
looked to
me like an issue of overconfidence than
an issue of 'I
did not
play well'.
The
bottom line is,
never underestimate your enemy.
