Lisicki stuns top seed Sharapova

Top seed Maria Sharapova crashed out of Wimbledon today when she was emphatically beaten by big-hitting Sabine Lisicki in the fourth round.

The French Open champion had looked in ominous form prior to today, but amid damp scenes on Court One, where at one stage play was suspended for over 30 minutes, she was unable to scale the heights that saw her beat the same opponent at the semi-final stage last year.
