French Open champion Li Na of China has become the biggest name to crash out of Wimbledon so far, beaten in a three-set second round thriller by German wildcard Sabine Lisicki.
The third seed, a quarterfinalist at the grass-court grand slam in 2006, wasted two match points when 5-4 up in the deciding set, before eventually slumping to a 3-6 6-4 8-6 defeat.
The 21-year-old Lisicki, who is moving back up the rankings after missing the majority of 2010 with an ankle injury, will now face Japanese qualifier Misaki Doi for a place in the last 16.
