It took time for the surprises to come, but the first weekend at this year's Wimbledon has provided enough upsets to satisfy fans who want to see a changing of the guard. 

One day after No. 2 seed Li Na bowed out, the ladies' draw lost top-seeded Serena Williams. The American star lost in three sets to the No. 25 seed Alize Cornet, who came back from a rough start to stun the five-time Wimbledon champion.
