LONDON (Reuters) - Holder Petra Kvitova suffered a shock defeat by Serbia's former world number one Jelena Jankovic who rolled back the years to produce an inspired Centre Court display in the Wimbledon third round on Saturday.

World number two Kvitova had breezed through her first two matches of the tournament but after taking the first set against 30-year-old Jankovic, the Czech made too many errors allowing the 28th seed to triumph 3-6 7-5 6-4.
