It DIDN'T surprise me that Novak Djokovic beat Rafael Nadal in the men's singles. Novak has been ascendant to the top spot in tennis, and Nadal wasn't at the level he needed to be to beat him on Centre Court.
It DID surprise me that Kvitova defeated Sharapova. Kvitova did not show first-timer nerves much, and Sharapova's serve wasn't where it needed to be, particularly her second serves. Kvitova's returns were pretty impressive. It wasn't quite the all-the-way comeback that Maria wanted (and I admit, I did too), but when sports is real, the favorites don't always win.
