The former top-ranked Dane saved four set points in the first set but then failed to convert two break points when leading 5-4 in the second. Paszek erased an early break in the decider but failed to serve out the match at 5-3, only to break the seventh-seeded Wozniacki again to clinch the victory. The match was halted because of rain on Tuesday with the score at 2-2 in the first set. It was interrupted again Wednesday by showers that forced organizers to slide the retractable roof over centre court Read more: http://sportsillustrated....index.html#ixzz1z1MJwHII

Murray may get a chance in the Wimbledon final. Would be historic if he won. But I still think the real final will be Djokovic vs. Federer in the semi-final should they both get there.

He seems to be rebounding as he is up a break in the second set. Something in the air this Wimbledon! Will be interesting to see how far these lower ranked players can go, or if it will just make for a crazy first week and end with top ranked players in the finals. I still think the Semi-Finals on both the men's AND women's side have potential to be more interesting than the finals. Serena Williams is looking good and she is on Sharapova's side of the draw. Djokovic and Federer could meet yet again in a semi-final.

But then she came back and spanked Lisicki in the second set 6-1. But Lisicki seems to be returning the favor in the third. If only she'd won that tie-break. Oh well, she is getting there! Hopefully she can take one of these top players down soon.

I don't expect Roddick to do much and I'm glad Nadal lost especially since Rosol says that he bumped him during the changeover in the third set. I expect more class from Nadal. Hope Sharapova gets bounced soon! Go Serena!!

Diamond Posts: 2021 Jun 29 12 2:21 PM Gold Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I believe Serena and Sharapova are on opposite sides of the draw. Sharapova hasn't looked all that convincing but she knows how to win. Serena is quite reliable on grass. Who would bet against her (especially if she's playing for big sis and family honor, and to defy the experts who are backing the Russian). I wouldn't sleep on Kvitova either. She seems to be pulling her game together just in time to defend her title. I thought Petrova might make a stealth run, but I see she's down a set and in trouble in her third round match. On the men's side, I'm rooting for Tsonga to have a breakthrough, especially now that Nadal has crashed out. But I wouldn't mind if Nole successfully defended his title either. Del Potro is a fave of mine too. As Rafa would say, we'll see, no?

Federer even had a scare he lost the first two sets in his match against Benneteau but was able to tough it out and come back and win in 5. Crazy things happening at Wimbledon. 4 upsets happened in the top half of the men's draw today! Monaco, Almagro, Verdasco and Tipsarevic all went down. The Williams sisters have a tough doubles match coming up against the #4 seeds Kirlenko and Petrova.
