Svetlana Kuznetsova suffered a shock 6-2 7-5 third round defeat against unseeded teenager Sabine Lisicki.

The French Open champion was thumped in the first set and although she mounted a comeback in the second, it was just too late for the Russian.

The fifth seed has previously reached the quarter-finals three times at Wimbledon but will not make the second week this time.

Lisicki, aided by a big serve, convincingly took the first set and raced out to a seemingly unassailable lead in the second.

However, she came unstuck when serving for the set then passed-up three match point chances in the next game as Kuznetsova threatened to force a tie-break.

The 19-year-old broke her opponent at the crucial time, however, as the two-time grand slam winner sent a backhand wide on Lisicki's fifth match point.

After the match, the young German revealed that she had not placed any pressure on herself going into the match, allowing her to swing freely.

"I just told myself to play one point at a time because I had nothing to lose," she said. "It's a huge win for me because before I came to this Wimbledon I hadn't won a match on grass."

Lisicki will face fellow teenager Caroline Wozniacki in the fourth round of the tournament.

The 18-year-old ninth seed stormed into the last 16 with a 6-2 6-2 thumping of Spanish world number 20 Anabel Medina Garrigues.

Wozniacki, who recently triumphed on the grass at Eastbourne, dominated with ferocious groundstrokes throughout the match, never giving her opponent a chance.
