Sharapova knocked out of Wimbledon by Lisicki

LONDON: Maria Sharapova suffered a shock exit from Wimbledon on Monday as Germany's Sabine Lisicki avenged last year's semi-final defeat with a 6-4, 6-3 fourth round victory over the world number one.

Lisicki will play either four-time Grand Slam champion Kim Clijsters or German eighth seed Angelique Kerber for a place in the last four.
