2004 Wimbledon Champion Maria Sharapova was bundled out of the second round of the Championships in straight sets 6-3, 6-4 by Portuguese qualifier Michelle Larcher De Brito in a shock of epic proportions.
The 20 year old unheralded Portuguese, a pint sized competitor at just 5 feet 5 inches tall, out screamed Sharapova and out hit the Russian rather comfortably over the course of the contest.
The opening set lasted barely over half an hour with Sharapova also facing the curse of the falling seeds as she slipped twice in the first set. Things got ever worse for the former world no.1 as she fell badly in the second set and appeared to pick up an injury, but it was her pride that appeared more shaken as Larcher De Brito continued to out play the Russian diva.
