Default Petra Kvitova hits 4 DFs in a row to give set away.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cdXmk3P34Wg

Yikes, I just don't get how something like that can happen; she was cruising the entire match and was up a break the second set. Got broken back and then had to serve to stay in it and DFed 4 times in a row to give away the set. Kirilenko ended winning the match in the end.

Between this and the 18 DFs in her AO R2 match vs Robson, her serve has become a total liability; remember when people were gushing over it when she won Wimby/YEC 11?

Well, Dimitrov did hit 4 DFs to give away the break when serving for the 1st set against Djokovic, albeit not in a row.

It's a known thing... it's officially called Grigor's syndrome

He did the same thing against Novak last week.

EDIT: Sassy beat me to it
