ALIZE CORNET WINS, SERENA WILLIAMS OUT. THE CHAMPIOSHIPS WIMBLEDON 2014

Alize Cornet has staged the biggest upset of Wimbledon 2014 with a 1-6, 6-3, 6-4 win over world No. 1 and five-time champion Serena Williams. 

 The No.24 ranked Frenchwoman, who also defeated Williams in their last meeting in Dubai earlier this year, showed tremendous courage in the third round match of dramatic momentum shifts. Beginning with each player dropping serve in the first two games, the match was suspended for four hours as rain fell at the All England Club. It looked to be an easy progression for Williams when she returned to quickly win every remaining game of that first set. But it was Cornet who would win the next five games with her clever combination of power and touch, Serena only gaining an edge when she recovered a break of serve in the seventh game. It was a short-lived revival, with 29 unforced errors and seven double faults not helping Serena as the more accurate Cornet gained breaks of serve in the fifth and seventh games to emerge the surprise winner after just over two hours of playing time. 
 She now meets Eugenie Bouchard, a straight sets winner over Andrea Petkovic.
