Sharapova and Thiem crash out of Wimbledon 2018

The third Grand Slam of the year has begun and there have already been quite a few early exits at Wimbledon 2018. On Day 1, an unseeded Stan Wawrinka sent #6 seed Grigor Dimitrov out of the tournament and then we moved to Day 2 for some more unexpected results.

The first of these was #8 seed Petra Kvitova getting knocked out in her Round 1 match by Aliaksandra Sasnovich from Belarus. Another major shocker from the women’s tournament was that of Maria Sharapova. She has always been a crowd favourite and not many would’ve liked to see her leave in the 1st Round.

She had her first game against the unseeded Vitalia Diatchenko, also from Russia and Sharapova couldn’t get past her, even though she won the first set. It was an epic women’s match that lasted over 3 hours and Sharapova ended it with a double fault, which was her 10th of the game.
