Novak Djokovic is out of Wimbledon after
a shock defeat by American Sam Querrey - ending the world number one's hopes of
a calendar-year Grand Slam.
It was the
Serb's first loss at a major since the 2015 French Open final.
Djokovic
had hoped to win his third straight Wimbledon
title and secure the third leg of a calendar Slam.
The
29-year-old has already won the Australian and French Opens this year, and was
also trying to become only the second man to win five successive major titles.
"It's
incredible, especially to do it here at Wimbledon ,"
said 28-year-old Querrey after ending one of the most dominant runs in tennis
history.
"I'm
so ecstatic, so happy. I played the break points well and every time he had a
break point I was able to come up with a big serve.
"He
came out and got the first four games, fortunately for me we had another rain
delay and I got to regroup. I'm just taking it one round at a time, I'm not
even sure who I'm playing next."
