Belinda breadsticks Pironkova in 2nd set. Now, onto decder. Looks like Belinda has advantage since the MTO of miss P.

Bencic gets broken while serving for the match. She is still leading 5-3 in 3rd though.

Eighteen year old Bencic withstands the grass aficionada Pironkova for 3 sets and wins on her sixth match point.:clap:clap:clap

To some extent, Miss P was compromised since the MTO. But a win is a win. Now that Belinda has won this tricky opener, I expect her to go deep.

Phew... I was nervous for Bencic when I checked that score after the first set. Pironkova shines pretty much exclusively at Wimbledon.

Not happy with the draw. Serena has to potentially get through Venus then Vika then Pova.

Venus is not in an enviable position. Possibly stopping Serena from achieving a bunch of milestones.

Sad to see Daria and Carla lose, although not surprised.

Do I just see a double-bagel with cream cheese served up by Venus!? The Queen of Wimbledon ain't done just yet.

Never get excited about Vee anymore because one day she can play tennis like nobody's business and the next day she can play like lower level club member. She's not consistent at all and to get excited for her always becomes a disappointment.

Sadly I must agree.
