Something about this section strikes me as comical.

[quedry36]

Hmmm...the players perhaps?

What's not funny is one will be in the round of 16!

Something about this section strikes me as comical.

Maybe you're recalling the prior Safina/Peer fiasco match at Wimbledon.

[Pheboasmabs]

Something about this section strikes me as comical.

Now that section is a hot mess.. plain and simple

[Smabeabumjess]

Petrova in prime upset-and-then-flame-out position.

[warrgazur]

One of them WILL succeed despite any attempts on their part to fail.

[10traistintarry]

Petrova in prime upset-and-then-flame-out position.

I cringed when I saw where she landed. Reminded me of this year's Aussie.

[Penisvergroesserung]

Rough first round, but after that Oudin has to like her draw.

[Almolfuncomma]

Marion has a good draw to work with. Bad luck for Laura!

[aspinswramymn]

R16. Kim vs. Justine. DAMN!!!!!!!!!!

The read bad news- both of them and Jankovic= Venus' half (at least she'd only have to play one of them in the SF.) WITH V getting freakin' Makarova or Szavay in the second round. IMO Serena's relatively speaking got the cushier half. (Unless Maria can play like a Blast from the Past.....)

[neirty]

R16. Kim vs. Justine. DAMN!!!!!!!!!!

On tailgate-day

The read bad news- both of them and Jankovic= Venus' half (at least she'd only have to play one of them in the SF.) WITH V getting freakin' Makarova or Szavay in the second round.

I think Venus has a really good draw. No way she is losing to Makarova or Szavay at Wimbledon- or to anyone else up to the semis. Kim's actually the only one I could see beating Venus before the final.
:
IMO the top quarter is the toughest, but overall a nice draw.

I'd say 3rd Q is the toughest (with 1st not far behind), but I agree on the nice draw sentiment. Such a relief after the French.

[10traistintarry]

I think Oudin's loss of ranking points shifts into high gear next week. She's defending 4th round from last year, and I think she's be lucky to survive the 1st round given how Flipper is playing, or go out in the 2nd to Yani.

The closest we'll get to Kim/Justine will be Henman Hill. (Still, it IS way cool that we'll be there that day. It's funny how it took your post for me to start reminding myself, HEY, I'm gonna be at WIMBLEDON!!!!!!!! while a lot of these matches are going on. )

ANYONE!!!!! GROENEFELD, Anna-Lena GER vs [20] SAFINA, Dinara RUS
MAKAROVA, Ekaterina RUS vs SZAVAY, Agnes HUN

[eljugadordepoquer]

The Kanepi Stosur match has the potential to be a right humdinger.

[neirty]

The closest we'll get to Kim/Justine will be Henman Hill. (Still, it IS way cool that we'll be there that day. It's funny how it took your post for me to start reminding myself, HEY, I'm gonna be at WIMBLEDON!!!!!!!! while a lot of these matches are going on. )

LOL. I already thought about potential scheduling. There will be 16 singles matches,IIRC 9 of them will be played on show courts, leaving 7 for us. yay!

[qwerty1]

Oh yay, another grandslam clusterf*** draw!

[MexicoCity]

[1] WILLIAMS, Serena USA vs LARCHER DE BRITO, Michelle POR
