Shahar Peer has crashed out of Wimbledon.

Seeded 22, the Israeli won the first set 7-5 but after picking up a shoulder injury in the second, she had no answer to the power and precision of Ksenia Pervak, going down 6-4, 6-4 on Court 8 on the opening day.

The Israeli was inconsolable after the match. "I’m very disappointed," she said. "I'm not used to losing in the first round of back-to-back grand slams but I’m not playing well this year."

"I didn't underestimate my opponent. The problem was that I didn’t take my chances."
