With the surprising eliminations of Maria Sharapova and Ana Ivanovic, Jelena Jankovic had been given a wonderful opportunity to win her first major tournament. But the Serbian player has not been able to take advantage from the situation: She has been defeated at the stage of the eight finals by Tamarine Tanasugarn 6-3, 6-2. The Serbian has never been able to disrupt the Thai player ranked 60th in the world. In fact, she has only won 41 points and has had a first serves in percentage of 60. But Jankovic is not too worried about her defeat and the end of her dreams to win Wimbledon this year. She has found a new passion: Cutting hair… When we see her today’s level whereas she is ranked 3 in the world, she should consider becoming a professional hairdresser. At least, she seems more gifted for cutting hair than playing tennis. The holidays are going to start earlier than expected for Jelena and she will perhaps dedicate them to her new passion since it makes her smile whereas she hardly ever smiles on the court.

Nicole Vaidosa plays Anna Chakvetadze and if that was not enough the little pocket rocket herself Jie Zheng conqueror of Ana Ivanovic is out again, so too Serena Williams.

Roger Federer’s girlfriend Mirka Vavrinec can hardly stiffle a yawn waiting o nthe great man to compete yet another trouncing. On Monday he faces Leyton Hewitt in fine form and very committed - he was in fact the last person to win the Wimbledon title before Federer came on the scene and created the Federation. It will be a good pointer to the great man’s continued dominance. Hewitt is a fighter and wants the title back for himself, if his body can still take the strain that is with rumours that he he needs hip surgery.

Little Jie Zengh played like Maradonna at football when she smashed an out of sorts Ana Ivanovic ourt of Wimbledon in the rain on Friday. Ranked 133 in the world and at odds of more than 500/1 before the tournament, her true pedigree has been disguised by injury. Can she do it again against  Agnes Szavay? The Hungarian is seeded 15 and only 19 but has won more than $250,000 in prize money so far this year. Ana Ivanovic in tears after her game on Friday, all the adulation probably got to her and the pressure of being favourite and the copurt was playing fast after the rain. It is 3/1 that the Hungarian wins 2-1. Good bet that.

Federer and Hewitt to meet in Round of 16

Despite all the seeds of doubt that were planted on his way to Wimbledon, Roger Federer continues to cruise through, displaying clinical perfection of grass court tennis, as only he can.

The 6-3 6-3 6-1 victory in 81 minutes happened more so for Federer’s beautiful display than for anything that France’s Marc Giquel could have done better.

Federer lost the first service game of the match, but came back to break serve on the next game, as he so often does, and after that there was no stopping the unflappable Swiss man.

“I’m into the second week, I have a few days off and I haven’t dropped a set, so I’m very happy,” Federer said after his 62nd consecutive win on grass. “The next round will be difficult against a more experienced player. If it’s Hewitt, he’s a former world number one. He’s won Grand Slam titles. It should be an exciting match.”

Federer’s opponent in the round of 16 will indeed be Lleyton Hewitt, and the world number one is being gracious here. While Hewitt bears the prestigious label of the last man to have won Wimbledon before Roger began his reign here in 2003, the Australian has been beaten eleven straight times by the Swiss man.

“It’s good to get out there and play on Centre Court, play against the best player in the world,” said Hewitt.

The former world number one has reason to hope. Despite a hip injury, he has been playing well at the Championships this week, and had little trouble dismissing Simone Bolelli of Italy in straight sets. In addition, he will have the benefit of being cued on specific strategies, having hired Federer’s former coach Tony Roach a year ago.

But he’s going to need more than tactics whispered in his ear if he hopes to beat the man who has dominated the cathedral of tennis for five years in a row. The former Wimbledon champion will have to come up with something very special to stop the reigning king of Wimbledon.
