London:
Defending champion Roger Federer crashed of Wimbledon on Wednesday when he lost to Ukraine's world number 116 Sergiy Stakhovsky 6-7 (5/7), 7-6 (7/5), 7-5, 7-6 (7/5) in his worst Grand Slam defeat for a decade.
The shock loss brought to an end seven-time champion Federer's extraordinary record in the sport's four majors.
Federer had made 36 consecutive Grand Slam quarter-final appearances, having not gone out of a major before the last eight since the 2004 French Open.
It was his earliest Wimbledon defeat since he was knocked out in the first round in 2002 by Mario Ancic.
The following year he had lost in the first round of the French Open to Luis Horna.
"I'm still in disbelief that it actually happened," Stakhovsky said.
