The second round of the 2012 Championships at Wimbledon has its first upset. It likely won’t be the last. The grass courts of Wimbledon have already had their fair share of surprises as Day 3 is underway on Wednesday.

In the latest upset, women’s No. 5 seed Samantha Stosur was upended by unseeded Arantxa Rus of the Netherlands, 6-2, 0-6, 6-4. The two players split the first two sets before Rus took a 5-3 lead in the third. Rus appeared on the verge of putting it away, but Stosur battled back to win a fourth set and regain the serve. After getting a 30-love edge on the serve, Stosur knocked a couple of balls into the net and winged one wide of the court on a very bad stroke. Stosur looked out of sorts and Rus took advantage, taking the set and the win.
