Day-7 action at Wimbledon 2012 again shook the tennis world as an upset saw Women's World No.1 Maria Sharapova crash out in straight sets. Maria tasted defeat at the hands of Sabine Lisicki in straight sets 6-4,6-3.
On the men's side ,the first match at centre court was scheduled to take place between the sixteen time major Champion Roger Federer and the veteran Xavier Malisse. In the first set when the score was 4-3 in Federer's favour with Malisse serving, Roger, to the utmost shock of everyone, took a medical time-out because of a back-problem.When play resumed in extreme windy conditions, Malisse managed to break Federer and was serving for the set at 6-5.But he failed to hold on to his serve and eventually ended up losing the first set on tie-break.Federer completely dominated in the second set and took it away 6-1. Xavier again got going in the third set and captured it 6-4. Malisse continued his form early in the fourth set but then simply lost it and got broken twice to lose the fourth set 6-3 and the match with a score of 7-6(1) 6-1 4-6 6-3.
The second men's match on Centre Court was an all-Serbian affair between World No.1 Novak Djokovic and his Davis Cup team-mate Viktor Troicki. The match proved out to be a total one-sided affair as Nole didn't let Troicki get hold of the match at any point .Nole made his way tho the quater-finals bu routing Viktor in straight sets 6-3 6-1 6-3 .
