Tradition holds that on the first Tuesday of The Championships, the initial match that is contended on Centre Court feature the Ladies Champion from the previous year. Last year, Marion Bartoli laid claim to the Venus Rosewater Dish when she defeated Sabine Lisicki, 6-1, 6-4.
On a sunny day in Eastbourne the defending WTA champion joined the seed carnage of the early rounds as she bowed out to USA power-hitter Madison Keys. She books herself an all-American clash with Lauren Davis who put paid to former champion Daniela Hantuchova in some style with a straight sets 6-3 6-3 win.
Now this looks like the Petra Kvitova who won Wimbledon. And she's the only seed left in her half. Make the final and she'll be just below the Top Five; win the title and she's in.
A first-round loss at Roland Garros in the wake of her shock dumping by golfer fiance Rory McIlroy did not bother Caroline Wozniacki, who quickly headed off to Miami for partying with tennis friend Serena Williams earlier in the month.
Many big stars recall it as wacky Wednesday. The third day of last year’s Championships when Wimbledon’s grass began to play more like an ice rink of several big names, such as Maria Sharapova, Caroline Wozniacki, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, and Marin Cilic all suffered bad tumbles while Victoria Azarenka was forced to withdraw because of an injury she suffered because of a slip on court a few days earlier.

This was a very long, very tough battle -- it really does seem as if Caroline Wozniacki is coming back to life. Coming back enough, at least, to have put herself in the Top Fifteen. But she had a lot of help -- Li Na made 32 errors in the first set, as against just one winner for Wozniacki.
Based on current rankings, these seedings should have been reversed -- Sloane Stephens came in ranked #16, Caroline Wozniacki #18. But you would never have known it! And, because Stephens was defending 140 points and Wozniacki only 80, that will reverse -- Stephens will fall to no better than #18, with Wozniacki probably #17 and with the chance to go higher.
The second set of this was frankly pretty ugly, but Caroline Wozniacki survived. She's still only #17 in safe points, though, and will need a lot more to go any higher. Monica Puig will be around #55.

There are so many reasons why the BNP Paribas Open is considered by many--including me--to be the best tournament in the business. The quality of players in the field, the men's doubles draw, and the never-failing weather just to name a few.
This was by no means as easy and straightforward as it looks; it took more than an hour, and if we did this right, Agnieszka Radwanska's first hold of the second set lasted 22 points! Radwanska is assured the #3 ranking; Annika Beck will probably be #43.
