I have been on a plane for most of today, flying back from Los Angeles to Washington, DC. But with time to contemplate the Day of Carnage at Wimbledon (seven former World #1's lost on the same day: Roger Federer, Maria Sharapova, Victoria Azarenka, Lleyton Hewitt, Jelena Jankovic, Ana Ivanovic and Caroline Wozniacki) I am still stunned that Federer's streak of 36 consecutive grand slam quarterfinals would end to Sergiy Stakhovsky! But, the Ukrainian played VERY well, hitting 72 winners to only 17 unforced errors (over 4 sets!). Here are some highlights:
