Two-time defending champion Novak Djokovic was sent crashing out of
Wimbledon by big-serving Sam Querrey on Saturday, shattering his dreams
of securing the first calendar Grand Slam in 47 years.
The world
number one, bidding for a fourth Wimbledon title and 13th major,
suffered his earliest loss at a Slam since the 2009 French Open.
The
7-6 (8/6), 6-1, 3-6, 7-6 (7/5) third round defeat also ended Djokovic's
Open era record run of 30 successive wins at the majors and his streak
of having reached 28 consecutive Grand Slam quarter-finals.
Sam Querrey,the 28-year-old sent down 31 aces -- 15 in the fourth set alone -- and saved 14 of 17 break points while unleashing 56 winners
