US Open: Wimbledon runner-up and del Potro stop
Sabine Lisicki, the 2013 Wimbledon runner-up, had to say goodbye to the 2013 US Open in the third round after losing to Ekaterina Makarova in two sets with a score of 4-6, 5-7.
This defeat is truly a pity for the 16th seeded tennis player, especially when she just wrote a dream story at Wimbledon - the third prestigious Grand Slam tournament of the year.
At that tournament, Lisicki went straight to the final and only lost to Marion Bartoli - the player who decided to retire.

In the fourth round, the third seed from Poland will face Ekaterina Makarova.
After the win, Radwanska shared: "I am very happywhen the victory was won. However, this was not an easy match."
"I like hard courts and I have had great results on this surface. I think that only by making mistakes I cannot get past the fourth round. So I will need to give my best to achieve my dream," the Polish player said, looking forward to his next match.
Also in this third round, young American tennis player Sloane Stephens continued to show impressive form, with a 6-1, 6-3 victory over Jamie Hampton.
This easy win will certainly create great momentum for Stephens in round 4 - where she will likely face a very strong challenge named Serena Williams.
Earlier this year, Sloane Stephens created the biggest shock at the 2013 Australian Open with a stunning comeback to defeat her senior Serena.
Along with Radwanska and Stephens, other seeded players Li Na (seed number 5) and Angelique Kerber (8) also had easy victories to get tickets to round 4.

The Australian veteran defeated the 2009 US Open champion in five sets with the scores of 6-4, 5-7, 3-6, 7-6, 6-1. In the third round, Hewitt will face Russian player Evgeny Donskoy.
In contrast to the shock of del Potro, two top tennis players Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray have made it to the third round of the US Open.
The US Open runner-up defeated Benjamin Becker 7-6, 6-2 and 6-2 while the defending champion overcame Leonardo Mayer in four sets with a score of 7-5, 6-1, 3-6 and 6-1./.
