Andy Roddick Upset at Wimbledon

Three-time Wimbledon runner-up Andy Roddick was eliminated in straights by Feliciano Lopez in the third round on Friday, the American's first loss to the Spanish left-hander in eight matches.

The 44th-ranked Lopez served 28 aces and piled up 57 winners to beat Roddick 7-6 (2), 7-6 (2), 6-4 on Centre Court, the biggest upset of the men's tournament so far.

In a surprise on the women's side, second-seeded and 2010 runner-up Vera Zvonareva was knocked out 6-2, 6-3 by 33rd-ranked Tsvetana Pironkova of Bulgaria. The Russian converted only one of seven break points and had 18 unforced errors, compared to five for Pironkova, who upset Venus Williams here in the quarterfinals last year.
