Injury ends Jankovic Wimbledon hopes

Jelena Jankovic made a dismal fourth-round exit from Wimbledon as she retired injured in the second set after being outplayed by Vera Zvonareva.

The Serbian fourth seed had taken an injury time-out after falling 6-1 3-0 behind, but the break clearly did not help and, despite starting the fourth game, she walked to the net to concede defeat.

It was not clear whether Jankovic had been troubled throughout the match by the injury, which appeared to be to her lower back.

Zvonareva, seeded 21st, had dominated throughout.
