LONDON, June 21 (UPI) -- Wimbledon 2005 saw its first major upset Tuesday when Eleni Daniilidou of Greece defeated French Open champion Justine Henin-Hardenne in the first round.
Reigning Wimbledon champ Maria Sharapova and two-time winners Serena and Venus Williams won their opening-round matches.
Daniilidou beat Henin-Hardenne 7-6 (10-8), 2-6, 7-5 to end her 24-match winning streak.
This was the first time in the Open Era that the reigning French Open champion lost in the first round at Wimbledon. A former world No. 1, Henin-Hardenne played her first grass-court match since losing to Serena Williams in the Wimbledon semifinals in 2003.
Sharapova, 18-year-old Russian, beat Spaniard Nuria Llagostera Vives 6-2, 6-2. Sharapova beat Serena Williams in last year's Wimbledon final.
Serena, a seven-time Grand Slam champion, beat fellow American Angela Haynes a 6-7 (12-14), 6-4, 6-2.
