Top-seed Ana Ivanovic is ousted at Wimbledon: Top-seeded Ivanovic upset at Wimbledon - Yahoo! News

By STEPHEN WILSON, AP Sports Writer 30 minutes ago

WIMBLEDON, England - Top-seeded Ana Ivanovic was knocked out in the third round of Wimbledon on Friday by 133rd-ranked Zheng Jie of China, extending a spate of stunning upsets at the All England Club.

Ivanovic, who took over the No. 1 ranking after winning the French Open earlier this month, slumped to a 6-1, 6-4 loss to the wild-card entry and doubles specialist.

Ivanovic, who saved two match points before overcoming Nathalie Dechy in three sets on Wednesday, had no answer for the hard-hitting Zheng.

"It's a surprise for me," said the 24-year-old Zheng, who won the Wimbledon doubles title in 2006. "Thanks to Wimbledon, (which) gave me a wild card. I just tried my best and had to keep going, going."

Ivanovic went out a day after 2004 champion and third-seeded Maria Sharapova was ousted by 154th-ranked Alla Kudryavtseva and two-time men's runner-up Andy Roddick was bounced by Janko Tipsarevic. A day earlier, Australian Open champion and No. 3-ranked Novak Djokovic fell to Marat Safin.

Ivanovic committed 17 unforced errors, converted only one of seven break-point chances and lost serve four times. She could lose the No. 1 ranking depending on how far No. 2 Jelena Jankovic and No. 4 Svetlana Kuznetsova advance in the tournament.

Tennis needs to be shook up. I am not a federer fan. He is a bore to watch. And the girls need a good revelry.

Indeed, I'm all for girls partying and for partying with girls .

But yes, a rivalry is in order too. I'm tired of watching the women play for all the wrong reasons. I really enjoyed the days when Chris Everett and Martina would have epic battles year after year worth watching.

In fact, I haven't enjoyed mens tennis much since Connors/McEnroe... although at least Agassi/Sampras was fun for a while.
