Rain has gotten in the way at Wimbledon yet again, resulting in more delays and more suspended matches everywhere except on Centre Court, where the retractable roof is coming back up.

Early on Tuesday morning, several matches were halted in the middle of play, including that of fourth-seeded Andy Murray, who held a 7-5, 4-2 lead over Marin Cilic when the match was suspended.

Fifth-seeded Jo-Wilfried Tsonga was in trouble versus No. 10 Mardy Fish when his own match on the No. 2 court was called. Tsonga dropped the first set 4-6, but he will hold a 4-1 lead in the second set when play resumes.

Sharapova was making a bid to become the first woman since Williams in 2002 to win the French Open and Wimbledon in the same year. A title would have been her first at Wimbledon since 2004, but Lisicki got in the way.

Monday's match marked the third time Lisicki has managed to take down the French Open champion at Wimbledon. Her serve reached 118 mph, and a second-serve ace at 108 mph marked the winning serve. Afterward, she told the Associated Press (via SI.com):

That's my game, to serve well and be aggressive. That's what I did. I think it worked well. As soon as I got the break i...
