Novak Djokovic's quest for a calendar Grand Slam is over after a shock third-round Wimbledon defeat to Sam Querrey.
Having led by two sets to love when play was postponed overnight, Querrey withstood a fightback from the defending champion to win 7-6 (8-6) 6-1 3-6 7-6 (7-5) in just over three hours on Court One.
Djokovic was bidding for a third successive Wimbledon title and had made at least the quarter-finals of every major since the 2009 French Open.
But the Australian and French Open champion looked below his best over the course of the two-day match, failing to serve out the fourth set and then losing in the tie-break.
Had the contest finished on Friday, Querrey may well have even sealed victory in straight sets.
The 28th seed was dominant before rain and bad light forced play to be abandoned for the day.
But it was Djokovic who came out stronger on Saturday morning, reeling off four straight games before the rain hit.
Further interruptions proved frustrating but the world No 1 eventually took the set to raise his hopes of a comeback.
In an absorbing fourth set, both players dug deep amid a string of break-point chances.
Querrey saved four in one game before Djokovic staved off three, roaring with delight after a superb half volley.
When Djokovic eventually broke for 5-4, he could not close it out as Querrey broke straight back.
Rain again forced the players off but Djokovic held his serve upon resumption to take it to a tie-break.
It looked as though he would force a decider as he opened up a 3-1 lead, only for Querrey to fight back and secure a shock victory when Djokovic went wide with a forehand.
