Only one champion remains in the women’s draw as two Czech lefties Lucie Safarova and Petra Kvitova will face each other in the semi-final. Kvitova owns the head to head 5-0 but they have had some humdinger of matches.
Most of the buzz in the tennis world on this last Wednesday of Wimbledon is about the men who have bowed out in the last few days. Great Britain’s hopes for a repeat of last year have been dashed. The man who was a winner then was the first British champ in 77 years.
Wimbledon passes on announcements with an aura of grandeur that often outstrips the issue itself. The second Tuesday though, brought about a communiqué that outlined a sad statistic, at least where US players are concerned. This is the first time since 1911 that no Americans remain in competition in either the women or men’s side of the draws.
The first week of Wimbledon has come and gone and the second will begin without either Williams sister.( in singles , they are playing doubles together , and have a second round match on Monday) . Venus Williams lost arguably the best match of the women's tournament so far, as she went down to Petra Kvitova 5-7, 7-6(2), 7-5 on Friday.
The end of a third round match in the women’s competition at The Championships revealed a winner who was a former Wimbledon champ. Even though one of the contestants was Venus Williams who was the champion here five times, today a match delivered an outcome that she didn’t want.
Venus lost today to what the tv commentators were calling the match of the week. The match of the tourney. The match that Venus had to win in two sets but didn't. Such an amazing quality of match. The level and intensity of a finals worthy of Wimbledon.
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.
