Risks down 1-4 in the 1st. Hope she calms those nerves in the 2nd set.

Make that 4-1 Kiu and Stosur looks lost on the grass. Zako takes the opening set over Li 6-4.


Kanepi comes through in straights over Riske to setup a R16 w/ Robson. Sabine serving for the match at 5-1. In an hour they're going to have to decide where to put Serena's match as I don't think Ferrer/Dolgo will be done on Court 1. I'm leaving for the day so cheers to everyone and enjoy the rest of the matches today.

Sabine took the decider 6-1 playing outstanding Tennis in the 3rd set, when she plays like that, she is really hard to beat.

8 Aces amongst 34 winners, only 13 unforced errors.


Li had a great second set, blanking Klara 6-0 but it was a tough 3rd set, 14 games in all, Li prevailed 8-6 and won the match.

I haven't been able to watch any matches from R3 so far but looking at the results there are som players I appreciate getting through to R4 and some I feel sorry for

I'm happy to see that Petra Kvitova (CZE) made it into R4 after defeating Ekaterina Makarova (RUS) 63, 26, 63 We'll have to see how far she can go. Carla Suarez Navarro (ESP) is next
Also Na li won her R3 match vs Klara Zakopalove who she defeated 46, 60, 86 I actually felt a tad sorry for Klara when Na broke back at the end of the deciding set and won the whole match
Laura Robson seems still on the roll, which is great for the British public. She defeated Marina Erakovic (NZL) 16, 75, 63 and has to play Kaia Kanepi (EST) next
Monica Puig continues to play well and has reached R4 after defeating Eva Birnerova (CZE) 46, 63, 64 She'll play the American Sloan Stephens next
Sabine Lisicki as usual plays well on the Wibledon grass and she has just defeated Sam Stosur 46, 62, 61 Her next opponent will probably be Serena Williams if not Kimiko Date-Krumm does a "Razzano"
Tsvetana Pironkova (BUL) also shows that she still is a great Wimbledon player. She defeated Petra Martic 61, 46, 62 and her next opponent is Agnieszka Radwanska
It's also nice to see that Flavia Pennetta (ITA) has managed to reach R4 - It has been a while since we've seen something good from her. She defeated the #29 seed Alize Cornet (FRA) 06, 76, 62 and she'll meet the Belgian Kirsten Flipkens next

I'm sorry that Michelle Larcher De Brito could not follow up her major win over Maria Sharapova. She was defeated by Karin Knapp (ITA) in straights 75, 62
It's also a pity that Eugienie Bouchard could not continue her great start here in Wimbledon. She was defeated by Carla Suarez Navarro (ESP) 75, 62
The petite Camila Giorgi was as expected defeated by Marion Bartoli 46, 75 Karin Knapp is next for Marion
I wonder if Serena/Date-Krumm manages to play their match or if it has to be canceled due to darkness

The Brits have both genders alive going into the second week, when was the last time that happened?
1998 - Tim Henman and Sam Smith.

The male commentator on Tennis Channel stated Puig was the first Puerto Rican to make the 4th round of a slam in the Open era. I guess he's never heard of Gigi Fernandez, who made the 4th round or better in 5 slams, including the semi's of Wimbledon.
