(AP) ? The player who stunned Roger Federer in one of Wimbledon's greatest upsets didn't stick around much longer.

Two days after eliminating the seven-time champion on Centre Court, Sergiy Stakovsky fell to Jurgen Melzer in four sets Friday in the third round at the All England Club.

The 116th-ranked Ukrainian couldn't reproduce the serve-and-volley magic that stifled Federer, losing 6-2, 2-6, 7-5, 6-3 to the left-handed Austrian.

Advancing to the third round were fourth-seeded David Ferrer and No. 13 Tommy Haas. No. 15 Nicolas Almagro was knocked out by Poland's Jerzy Janowicz.

Among the women, No. 7 Angelique Kerber became the sixth player among the top-10 seeds to go out.
