Sam Querry seeded 28th stunned World No.1 and defending champion Novak Djokovic in the third round of Wimbledon in London.

Querrey ended Djokovic's remarkable Grand Slam winning run, downing the defending champion 7-6 6-1 3-6 7-6.

Speaking to reporters after the match, Querrey, the 28th seed, said: "It is incredible, especially to do it here at Wimbledon. I am so happy and ecstatic. I think today I played the break points really well. I was able to come up with a big serve, fought in the tie-breaker and was able to force a couple of errors. You saw he came out and got the first four games. I had to regroup. Heis on his way to being possibly the best ever so I knew he was going to come back. I am just going to take it one round at a time. I am not even sure who I play next."

It is Djokovic's earliest defeat at a grand slam since the third round of the 2009 French Open!
