Before the middle Sunday of no play at Wimbledon, the third round will wrap up with what should be a bang on Saturday. Both Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal are back in action and taking on unseeded opponents. Perhaps the most intriguing matchup pits John Isner against Feliciano Lopez.
So much for any thought of Paul-Henri Mathieu staging some sort of comeback here. He'll remain somewhere far south of #125. But defending champion Richard Gasquet now needs only one more win to keep the #9 ranking.
