So.......possibilities of at least one upset on Centre today?

Hewitt vs Soderling. Hewitt leads the H2H 3-1, but two of those wins were way back in 2004. Interestingly, their last two matches were on the fast hard courts of Cincinnati in '09 and '10. Hewitt won the first, Soderling the second one. Both were three set matches with the winner having dropped the first.

Depends which Hewitt turns up, doesn't it? He's got a shot if he's fit enough and can raise his game one more time. Near his best, I think he would be something of a nightmare for Soderling on this surface.

Na Li vs Lisicki. Just the one meeting - recently in Stuttgart on clay, which Lisicki won. This was probably just at the time when Na Li was beginning to come out of her slump. I picked Sabine to win this based on her dominant serve and recent grass court results.

Having recently lost to Ward and struggled past Niland in the first round, I doubt Mannarino is going to be troubling King Roger too much.

Serena vs Simona. Battle of the well endowed

[occafeVes]

Court 2 is a graveyard of champions, right? Perhaps we ought to look there for potential upsets...

[Zugaxxsn]

About a billion Wickmayers are down a set.

[gariharrr]

About a billion Wickmayers are down a set.

I knew we put too much pressure on her!

[Zugaxxsn]

About a billion Wickmayers are down a set.

Though, Tatishvili took the first set off Bartoli at the French on Marion's worst surface, then only won three games. Sooooo we'll see what happens.

[clapsoewmred]

Serena, it's going to be like this every match, hmm?

Serena, it's going to be like this every match, hmm?

Don't see her going too far if she's having to go three sets each match.

[CuittisIL]

OMG Ruffles sat on PatioFurniture??

[CuittisIL]

Did anyone hear the commentators say that Serena has only been practicing for 4 weeks before Eastbourne & has just been off meds for 3 weeks?

Thats kinda crazy!

[Nosmas]

I think what Serena is accomplishing is really impressive. She's paractically willing herself through the matches which few WTA players ever could really accomplish. Certainly not many of them now.

It's a real testament to her physical fitness and mindset. I feel like it's really something special.

Really? I feel like she is a bit rusty, but we have seen it too many times from her, usually at Aussie Open though. She will get better and win this event probably, so no worries.

Hewitt is playing out of his mind and giving Soderling fits today

I think that equates to rust...

I definitely think that her will, fitness and mindset is pulling her through the rusty period.

Now the question becomes, can she hold on until next week - when the big chips are on the table.

Edit: I just checked the stats too - This was the first meeting between the 2.I'd say this was a typical rusty match with an unfamiliar opponent.

He had better. I'm bitter about his first round win.

Hewitt now serving for a 2-0 lead
