A day after Serena Williams barely survived an upset bid at Wimbledon, No. 2 seed and defending champion Petra Kvitova was not as fortunate.

Kvitova dropped a 3-6, 7-5, 6-4 decision to 28th-seeded Jelena Jankovic in the biggest upset of the day at the All England Tennis Club.

Kvitova had been a destructive in winning her first two matches easily, but Jankovic warmed to the task after dropping the first set. The WTA noted Jankovic's win and its significance:
