Sharapova defeated at Wimbledon

Wimbledon 2004 champion Maria Sharapova fell to a disappointing second round defeat this morning losing 6-2, 3-6, 6-4 to unseeded Gisela Dulko.



Dulko opened up a 3-0 lead and took the first set quickly and enjoyed a similar lead in the second before Sharapova began her fight back.



She won seven games in a row to level the match and lead 1-0 in the third.



Both players were broken before Dulko earned the decisive advantage in the seventh game and she broke again to win in a shade over two hours.



The crucial game was the seventh when a Sharapova double fault gave Dulko three break points. She took the first when the Russian netted to open up a 4-3 lead and then held to move within a game of victory.



Also in action is Roger Federer of Switzerland who is continuing his quest for a sixth Wimbledon title as he faces Guillermo Garcia-Lopez of Spain in his second round match on center court in England.



Federer, ranked second in the world, put a shaky start behind him to easily dispatch Yen Hsun Lu of China in his first round match on Monday.
