| THE CHAMPIONSHIPS WIMBLEDON 2009,Sunday 28th, 7th day, day off |
Men’s Singles I would take Hewitt over Stepanek as the unseeded aussie is looking to come back in the top 20 of the world or better.He hasn’t dropped a set yet at The Championships, his motivation and competitivity could carry him a long way. Roddick should have no problemm against Berdych but the czech got there winning the 9 sets he played with an impressive victory over Davidenko in the 3rd round.The americain blaster will have to disrupt Berdych’s solid play to get to the QF. Andy Murray,facing Wawrinka,can very well use the strategy that worked up to this point:win his serve,which he has done easily,and waite for his opponents’ errors on their serve.As it is unlikely that the swiss will be overly aggressive,forcing Andy to attack,the english fans should have another great day. The All England Club was inspired giving spaniard Ferrero a wild card.The 29 years old former #1 of the world beat on Saturday seeded #10 Gonzalez in a hard fought 5 setter.The quiet #8 Simon who got to the second week without dropping a set is his rival.However if Ferrero can sustain his level of play this match has all the ingredients for a possible upset. Interesting match up between Haas and Andreev,I give the advantage to the more experienced Haas.Andreev never got that far in Wimbledon and Haas,who defeated the talented young Cilic yesterday is looking for his first Quarter Final at The Championships. Novak Djokovic should have no trouble against the israeli Sela,the easiest match up of the 4th round goes to the serb. Will Fernando Verdasco win the big points from the bomber Ivo Karlovic?It very often comes to that as the Croatian’s huge serve gives his opponents very few,if any,opportunities to break.I will go for the upset as Karlovic beat # 9 Tsonga in the last round and is looking for his best result in a Gran Slam. Federer is 10-0 overall against Soderling,who could bet against him? Ladies’ Singles Dinara Safina has improved with every match,Mauresmo will have to bring her A game to upset the world #1. Great match up between the teenagers Wozniacki and Lisicki.Both athletic and aggressive,they should give a very good show .Advantage to the more experienced Wozniacki but we will surely see more battles in later rounds of the Gran Slams faeturing those two rising stars . Venus Williams,on grass,is favorite to beat Ana Ivanovic who says she is playing her best tennis since she won last year in Roland Garros.Will it be enough to upset the five times and defending Champion?I think not. 17 years old Melanie Oudin is looking for another upset after beating # 6 Jankovic in the third round.The fans will be behind her as she faces # 11 Radwanska in the 4th and,as I like gutsy newcommers,Oudin is my pick. Razzano,France, and Schiavone,Italy, are on uncharted territory in this Gran Slam,you can pick Razzano if you’r french or Schiavone if you’r italian.I would give a small edge to Razzano. # 4 Dementieva should passed the test facing Vesnina in that duel of russian players. It’s going to be a tough match between #8 Azarenka and# 10 Petrova.I favor the younger(20 years old) Azarenka. 2 sets should be enough for Serena Williams to take care of Daniela Hantuchova and move on to the QF.

Men’s Doubles Seeded # 1 Bob-Mike Bryan and # 2 Nestor-Zimonjic are through as well as # 4 Bhupathi-Knowles and # 7 Mirnyi-Ram.Blake-Fish are still there after upsetting the # 3 seeded in the first round. Ladies’Doubles The top 4 seeded are still in the Tournament,# 3 Stosur-Stubbs and # 12Groenefeld-King are already waiting in Quarter Finals. # 4 Venus-Serena Williams should face # 1 Black-Huber in the SF in a match full of expectations as the Williams sisters are defending their title. Mixed Doubles There has been no surprises in that competition where there is still a lot of matches to be played in the second round. That’s all for the first week recap at Wimbledon,no doubt we’ll see great action on Monday.
