Twice Wimbledon champion Kvitova stunned in the second round

While some players finished their third-round matches on Friday, in the Saturday afternoon (Day 6), two-time champion Petra Kvitova was still in the second round of Wimbledon, waiting for the resumption of her encounter with Ekaterina Makarova. The last second-round match of the tournament turned out to be a major upset, as the tenth-seeded Czech lost 7-5 7-6(5) on Court No.2. It was a slugfest that officially lasted one hour and 53 minutes, but in reality it dragged for two days due to rain, so the tennis colleague at the other side of the net was not the only opponent players had to conquer.
