Not since he won the first of his seven Wimbledon titles in 2003 had the Swiss lost in the first week of Wimbledon.Roger Federer last failed to reach a Grand Slam quarter-final in 2004, in a French Open loss to Gustavo Kuerten.Roger Federer’s shock defeat was his earliest at the All England Club since a first-round loss in 2002 to No. 154-ranked Mario Ancic.Sergiy Stakhovsky(Ukraine),the world No 116 is the lowest-ranked player to beat Federer at any event since then.

Sergiy Stakhovsky(Ukraine) didn’t just rewrite the history books, he ripped up the modern manual of how to play grass-court tennis. Demonically charging to the net at every opportunity, the world No 116 punched away volleys for three hours, even when Federer flayed shots in anger straight at him




Somehow the impossible came true and Roger Federer’s,the World No.3's Centre Court house came tumbling down




Sergiy Stakhovsky(Ukraine) advances to a third-round meeting tomorrow with Jurgen Melzer
