On Centre Court reigning Wimbledon champion and seven time winner Roger Federer is taking on Sergiy Stakhovsky, who has failed to beat a top 10 player in the previous 21 matches he's played against them. It looks like he'll still be waiting for that elusive victory as Federer takes the first set 7-6. However the 27 year old Ukrainian comes back and starts to play the match of his life and takes the next two sets 7-6, 7-5 Photograph: Tom Jenkins for the Guardian

The fourth set is a close affair and goes to a tie-break Photograph: Tom Jenkins for the Guardian

A backhand winner from Stakhovsky and Federer putting the ball in the net means it is double match-point for a player who had never been past the second round of Wimbledon. Federer saves the first with a laser-guided pass but can't save the second. Stakhovsky has pulled off arguably the greatest shock in the history of men's grand slam tennis Photograph: Tom Jenkins for the Guardian

After a quick wave to the crowd Federer heads through the door exiting Centre Court. It's his earliest loss at Wimbledon for 11 years and ends his record run of 36 Grand Slam quarter-final appearances in a row Photograph: Tom Jenkins for the Guardian

Meanwhile Stakhovsky soaks up the deserved applause from the crowd and recipricates by bowing and raising an imaginary hat. What an extraordinary day! Photograph: Tom Jenkins for the Guardian
