Luck deserted the top-seeded Serbian player Ana Ivanovic, who was cast out of the ongoing Wimbledon championships on Friday, June 27 after losing to China's Zheng Jie 6-1, 6-4 in the third round. It was just two days ago when Ivanovic saved two match points against France’s Nathalie Dechy, the second with the help of a net cord, she suffered an astonishing meltdown on Court One. Ana Ivanovic, who won her first Grand Slam singles title at the 2008 French Open, had to exert to keep the ball in her control as she either committed errors off court or fired shots into the net with shocking frequency. Opponent Zheng Jie, who is ranked 133rd, was taken aback to see Ana Ivanovic direct a service return into the net to reward her the first set within half an hour. The show got wrapped up in another 42 minutes after the Serbian player miscued a shot high up into the air on match point.
