Wimbledon, England (Sports Network) - No less than four former world No. 1 women exited the Wimbledon draw on Wednesday, including former champion Maria Sharapova and reigning two-time Australian Open titlist Victoria Azarenka. Portugals Michelle Larcher de Brito stunned the third-seeded Sharapova in 6-3, 6-4 fashion on some slick grass on Court No. 2 at the famed All England Club, while the second-seeded Azarenka pulled out of her scheduled second-round match because of a knee injury. Sharapova took three different spills during her shriek-filled match against the 20-year-old Larcher de Brito and also fell to the court during warm ups on the weird Day 3. The Russian superstar left the court at one point in the second set to get some treatment on her left hip and was never able to get all the way into her match on Wednesday. Sharapova saved four match points in the 10th game of the second set, but the 131st-ranked Larcher de Brito converted on a fifth when the Russian netted one final forehand. The career Grand Slam winner Sharapova captured her lone Wimbledon title in 2004 by upsetting Serena Williams in the final and was the 2011 runner-up here to Czech slugger Petra Kvitova. Sharapova was this months French Open runner-up to the great Williams and also lost to Williams in last years Olympic gold-medal match on the grass here at the All England Club. Meanwhile, Azarenka was slated to take on Flavia Pennetta in the second round, but she was clearly hobbled during her first-round win over Portugals Maria Joao Koehler on Monday. Azarenka did a split behind the baseline during the match and injured her right knee, which required treatment on three occasions as she completed a 6-1, 6-2 triumph. The 2012 U.S. Open runner-up tried to warm up on Wednesday morning before the match, but was unable to play, giving Pennetta a walkover into the third round. Azarenka said that medical tests showed she had a bone bruise in the knee and was unable to recover in time. "We tried to do everything as possible, but it was just very significant fall," she said. "To recover in two days after that seems impossible with the compensation on the entire body by finishing that match." Azarenka was a semifinalist here each of the last two years. The eighth-seeded former Wimbledon champ Kvitova reached the round of 32 without lifting her racquet, as Kazakhstans Yaroslava Shvedova pulled out of their second-rounder because of a right arm injury. In addition to Azarenka and Sharapova, two other former world No. 1s exited the draw, as Czech Petra Cetkovska defeated ninth-seeded Dane Caroline Wozniacki, who was nursing an apparent foot or ankle injury, 6-2, 6-2, and, making her Centre Court debut in front of members of the Royal Family, rising 19-year-old Canadian Eugenie Bouchard took out 12th-seeded Serb Ana Ivanovic 6-3, 6-3. The former U.S. Open runner-up Wozniacki has never reached a Wimbledon quarterfinal, while Ivanovic is a former French Open champ who hasnt advanced beyond the fourth round at the All England Club since a semifinal showing back in 2007.
