Starting off Day 3 was Madison Keys, playing on Arthur Ashe for the first time. Fair to say there were no nerves as she dominated Tereza Smitkova in the first set.
This lets Simona Halep defend her points -- and that means that she has also defended the #3 ranking. Petra Kvitova will remain stuck at #4. Yanina Wickmayer remains stuck below #65, but she seems finally to be coming back to life; her results here gained her more than a dozen ranking spots.
American women have claimed eleven titles at Wimbledon over the past fifteen years. Ten of those titles belong to women who have the last name Williams and the other belongs to Lindsay Davenport. Maybe it’s the name of the “trophy”.
Still no significant wins for Vera Zvonareva in her comeback (she did beat one wildcard ranked #357). At least she gets the showing-up points, which will help a little; she should go from #634 to around #580.
No surprise here, surely, and it won't be any surprise if Agnieszka Radwanska wins this event. Even if she doesn't, this win assures that she will rise to #3 (behind #1 Serena Williams and #2 Li Na); Victoria Azarenka, #2 coming in, will slip all the way to #4.

Laura Robson’s chances of even starting the Australian Open have been thrown into doubt following the British no. 1 being forced to retire midway through her first match of the year at the Hobart International earlier today because of ongoing wrist problems.
Svetlana Kuznetsova made her first appearance in Portugal in 11 years, after a 2002 qualifying loss.

A few years ago they were both among the WTA's fastest rising stars, one going as high as No.11 and the other No.12 - they have since slipped from those lofty rankings but now they both have a shot at regaining some of that momentum, as Yanina Wickmayer and Alizé Cornet will meet in the final of the NÜRNBERGER Gastein Ladies on Sunday.
