Svetlana Kuznetsova and Jelena Jankovic, both shock casualties in the third round at Wimbledon on Saturday, have opened the Wimbledon Ladies draw up.

Fifth seed and French Open champion Kuznetsova was defeated 6-2 7-5 on her 24th birthday by the unseeded German Sabine Lisicki.

The hard-serving Lisicki broke the Russian five times and will play ninth seed Caroline Wozniacki in the last 16.

Jankovic, ranked sixth, was beaten by 17-year-old American Melanie Oudin over three intense sets.

Oudin, world number 124 and making her career debut at Wimbledon, produced a stunning performance to upset Jankovic 6-7 (8-10) 7-5 6-2 to make the final 16.

Medical time-out lasting nearly 12 minutes suggested Jankovic had problems and Oudin took full advantage with her ferocious forehand to win a nervy second set and go on to win the match.
