It’s Ana Ivanovic’s Turn To Crumble Under Pressure!

TOP Seeded Ana Ivanovic suffered a shocking loss in the 2nd round of the US Opens. She was upset by 188th-ranked Julie Coin in three sets - 6-3, 4-6, 6-3.

Roger Federer suffered yet another loss in a forgettable season. This time he lost to American James Blake in the Beijing 2008 Olympics Quarter Finals.
