TENNIS: WORLD NO.1 CRASHES OUT OF WIBLEDON 2016


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.

Querrey, seeded 28th, completed a 7-6 (8-6) 6-1 3-6 7-6 (7-5) third-round win after rain had
suspended play on Friday evening at the ongoing WIMBLEDON 2016 tournament. It was the Serb's first loss at a major since the 2015 French Open final.

BBC reports that in another game played, Britain's Andy Murray, seeded second and made it into round four with a 6-3 7-5 6-2 win over Australia's John Millman.

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.
