Internet Desk: Novak Djokovic’s shot at a true Grand Slam came to a stunning halt Saturday at Wimbledon as the top seed lost to American Sam Querrey.
In a match carried over from Friday after winning the first two sets, the hard-serving Querrey lost the third Saturday before ousting Djokovic 7-6 (6), 6-1, 3-6, 7-6 (5) in a third-round match at the All England Club.
Querrey, seeded 28th, completed a 7-6 (8-6) 6-1 3-6 7-6 (7-5) third-round win after rain had suspended play on Friday evening.
It was the Serb’s first loss at a major since the 2015 French Open final.
Britain’s Andy Murray, seeded second, made it into round four with a 6-3 7-5 6-2 win over Australia’s John Millman.
Djokovic had hoped to win his third straight Wimbledon title and secure the third leg of a calendar Slam.
The 29-year-old has already won the Australian and French Opens this year, and was also trying to become only the second man to win five successive major titles.
