The Golden Girl is out.

Former Wimbledon champion Maria Sharapova has been eliminated in the second round by a fellow Russian, 154th ranked Alla Kurdyavtseva.

The 20-year-old underdog harassed Sharapova into several unforced errors, capturing the match handily by a 6-2, 6-4 score.

Sharapova, the 2004 Wimbledon champion at age 17, hadn't lost so early in a Grand Slam since going out in the first round at the Australian and French Open and second round at the U.S. Open in 2003.

Sharp bettors who threw down on Kurdyavtseva were rewarded handsomely, as she was a stagger +1200 underdog coming into the match. Looking for more tennis betting? Check out the Bodog Sportsbook today!
