Maria Sharapova out of Wimbledon she beaten by Sabine Lisicki 


It's all over for Sharapova as ice maiden melts thanks to slick Lisicki heat

  
Top seed Maria Sharapova crashed out of Wimbledon on Monday when she was emphatically beaten by big-hitting Sabine Lisicki in the fourth round.



The French Open champion had looked to be in ominous form, but amid damp scenes on Court One, where at one stage play was suspended for over 30 minutes, she was unable to scale the heights that saw her beat the same opponent at the semi-final stage last year.

Sharapova's serve was broken three times in a chaotic first set and crucially once early in the second, with 15th-seeded German Lisicki taking the match 6-4 6-3 - the same score by which she lost to Sharapova 12 months ago.
