Default Casey conquers, while Sam slumps

June 25, 2008

Casey Dellacqua kept the flag flying for Australia's women at Wimbledon as she moved into the third round with a 1-6, 6-2, 6-3 win over France's Pauline Parmentier.

However, Sam Stosur blew a golden chance to set up an all-Australian third round clash as the wildcard crashed 2-6, 6-0, 4-6 against Czech 18th seed Nicole Vaidisova.

Dellacqua, No.43 in the world rankings, stunned No.12 seed Patty Schnyder in the first round to earn her first ever Wimbledon win and built on that with another impressive display against Parmentier.

She had beaten former Wimbledon champion Amelie Mauresmo and Marion Bartoli, last year's runner-up here, earlier this season, so shouldn't have been lacking in confidence.

But Parmentier, ranked no.59 in the world, broke early and raced into a 3-0 lead before confidently closing out the set.

Dellacqua regrouped in the changeover and was transformed in the second set.

She started to pound fierce forehands from the baseline and broke in the fourth game to go 3-1 and took the set. That set up a tense decider that went Dellacqua's way when she broke late in the final set.

Meanwhile, Stosur, 24, had recovered from dropping the first set to level the match and then led 3-0 in the final set against Vaidisova.

She had won nine games in a row to get to that position but ran out of steam as Vaidisova dug deep to snatch a gutsy win.

Stosur, who struggled with a debilitating virus for several months, will be devastated by the missed opportunity but she can take heart from the way she competed against one of the sport's leading players.

The Queenslander had a dismal record against the Czech teenager, losing all five of their previous meetings and she made an awful start, dropping her first two service games to go 3-0 down and effectively surrender the set.

The vociferous backing of the Aussie fans who packed onto Court Three lifted Stosur at the start of the second set and she broke early when Vaidisova sent a smash carelessly wide.

She managed to save three break points on her next service game and Vaidisova seemed to give up on the set. Stosur, returning with growing confidence, broke again to ensure the match went to a final set.

Stosur was full of confidence now and broke early in the decider when Vaidisova tamely netted a forehand.

That should have been the signal for Stosur to seal the match as Vaidisova looked down and out.

Somehow the Czech managed to break in the fourth game and change the whole momentum of the match. She was suddenly performing like a top 20 player again and broke for the second time to go 4-3 up and close out the tie.

Default Sharapova humiliated at SW19

June 27, 2008

MARIA Sharapova suffered a humbling second-round exit at Wimbledon as the former champion was beaten 6-2 6-4 by fellow Russian and world No.154 Alla Kudryavtseva.

Sharapova, the No.3 seed, tumbled out of the tournament she won in 2004 after a lacklustre display on court one.

The pin-up of the women's game had reached at least the fourth round on all five of her previous visits to the All England Club, but she could have no complaints after being over-powered by her compatriot, who now plays China's Peng Shuai.

"I guess it wasn't my day. She just did everything better than I did,'' Sharapova said.

"She had nothing to lose and went for her shots. She served and returned better and on grass they are two important elements.

"I was just pretty tentative. I'm not sure why. It's a question I'll be asking myself. I wasn't playing my game and I let her take control on the majority of points.''

Sharapova was adamant the defeat didn't reflect a lack of desire in her game.

"On any given day you can go out there and if your game's not quite right you can be beaten, especially against an opponent with not much to lose,'' she said.

"I know how hungry players are on the tour. This girl might not win the tournament but she beat me and that's probably made her tournament.

"Losses are always disappointing. There's one winner of the tournament and everyone else loses. I'm one of them.

"I'm experienced enough to know that life goes on. There's a lot worse things than losing a tennis match, even if it is at Wimbledon, which is pretty important to me. I still have the desire to go back out there.''

It was the performance of a lifetime from Kudryavtseva.

She has never been past the third round of a grand slam and this was only her second singles victory at Wimbledon.

But for Sharapova, it was an hour and 23 minutes of misery and another crushing disappointment after her fourth-round defeat to Dinara Safina at the French Open.

Sharapova, once again playing in her 'tuxedo' top and shorts combo, found it hard to get into her stride from the start and had to save a break point in her second service game.

If that was a warning that Sharapova shouldn't take Kudryavtseva lightly, she didn't heed it.

Pressured by her compatriot's huge groundstrokes, the Australian Open champion was completely out of sorts and three double faults in the sixth game saw her fall 4-2 behind.

Kudryavtseva, 20, was growing in confidence and Sharapova, who had won their only previous meeting at the French Open last year, could muster little response.

Another wayward shot from Sharapova gave Kudryavtseva her first set point and she wasted no time converting it.

Sharapova needed a quick break to get back into the match in the second set and she got exactly that in the first game when a return on break point glanced off the net and trickled over.

But not even that stroke of luck could galvanise Sharapova and another double fault gave Kudryavtseva a break back.

When Sharapova berated herself after sending a forehand wide midway through the set, it was as if she could sense her impending demise. Kudryavtseva went for the kill and a perfect forehand earned a 4-2 lead.

With the match slipping out of reach, Sharapova managed to summon up a break back.

Still she didn't wake from her slumber and another double fault gave Kudryavtseva a match point, which she took with one last crushing forehand.

Default Venus through, Davenport limps out

June 27, 2008

FOUR-time champion Venus Williams cruised into the last 32 of Wimbledon but fellow former winner Lindsay Davenport limped away from the All England Club, probably never to return.

Defending champion Williams ended British hopes in the women's singles with a 7-5 6-2 win over Anne Keothavong while Davenport never even made it on to court.

The 32-year-old American, the champion in 1999 and runner-up on her last appearance in 2005, handed scheduled opponent Gisela Dulko a walkover after failing to recover from a knee injury which bothered her in the first round.

Despite the disappointing end to her 13th Wimbledon, Davenport is confident of playing at the Beijing Olympics and at the US Open later this year.

"There's two events that I've been wanting to play since I've been back,'' said Davenport, who took a break from the tour to have her first child last year.

"The Olympics were number one. That's on the forefront of my mind. To play in New York another time. After that, I have no plans.''

Women's No.2 seed Jelena Jankovic of Serbia beat Spain's Carla Suarez Navarro 6-1 6-3 and now plays Denmark's Caroline Wozniacki while No.9 seed Dinara Safina followed big brother Marat into the third round with a 6-3 6-2 win over Taiwan's Su-Wei Hsieh.

Russia's Alisa Kleybanova put out No.10 seed Daniela Hantuchova 6-3 4-6 6-1.

Dulko, the world No.39, goes on to face either No.5 seed Elena Dementieva or Timea Bacsinszky of Switzerland while Williams will tackle Spain's Maria Jose Martinez Sanchez, who put out Indian Sania Mirza, the No.32 seed, 6-0 4-6 9-7.

Mirza lost the first eight games of the second-round tie but recovered well enough to earn four match points in the final set before handing the advantage back to the 25-year-old Spaniard.

Asian honour was rescued by 31-year-old Thai Tamarine Tanasugarn, who produced her best grand slam performance for three years as she stunned Vera Zvonareva, the No.13 seed.

Tamarine, ranked 60th in the world, hadn't reached the last 32 at a major since Wimbledon in 2006, but she was able to end that barren run with a 7-6 (12-10), 4-6 6-3 victory.

Tamarine, who went through qualifying to win the 's-Hertogenbosch grass-court event in Holland last week, next faces New Zealand's Marina Erakovic for a place in the last 16.

Default Ivanovic dumped by wildcard

June 28, 2008

NO.1 seed and French Open champion Ana Ivanovic has been sent crashing out of Wimbledon in straight sets by Chinese wildcard Zheng Jie, the world No.133.

Ivanovic's 6-1 6-4 defeat comes just a day after No.3 seed and 2004 champion Maria Sharapova was sent packing by world No.154 Alla Kudryavtseva as the chase for the 2008 women's title was thrown wide open.

"It's a real surprise and I have to thank Wimbledon for giving me a wildcard,'' said the 24-year-old Zheng, whose ranking has slipped from a high of 27 because of a serious ankle injury.

"It was tough. Ana has a good serve and a forehand so I tried to play to her backhand. I tried to enjoy it and told myself to keep going,'' added Zheng, a Wimbledon doubles champion in 2006.

Zheng goes on to face Hungarian Agnes Szavay, the No.15 seed, for a place in the quarter-finals while Ivanovic, who had been lucky to survive in the second round, continues to struggle with her world No.1 status.

"There was a little bit of pressure being world No.1,'' said 20-year-old Ivanovic.

"But I adjusted and I wasn't as nervous as I was for the first match. It's still a learning experience for me. I tried to find my game but I knew I was struggling. It's been an emotional few weeks and it has taken its toll.

"I didn't have as good preparation as I hoped for because I had to have some time off, so I didn't have too much time to practise and to do all these little specific movements and things you need to in order to adjust to the grass.

"Obviously it was tough because from the first match on, I tried to find my game, but I felt like I was struggling a little bit.

"It took time to adjust to the grass because, especially after clay, it's a completely different game.''

Serena Williams won the battle of former champions when she beat France's Amelie Mauresmo 7-6 (7-5) 6-1.

Williams, the 2002 and 2003 champion, goes on to face Bethanie Mattek for a place in the quarter-finals after her fellow American put out 2007 runner-up Marion Bartoli 6-4 6-1.

Svetlana Kuznetsova and Anna Chakvetadze helped ease the pain of Russia's Euro 2008 football exit by moving into the last 16.

No.4 seed Kuznetsova celebrated her 23rd birthday with a comfortable 6-2 6-4 win over Czech qualifier Barbora Zahlavova Strycova and will face Poland's Agnieszka Radwanska, the No.14 seed putting out 16-year-old Russian qualifier Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova 6-3 6-2.

Chakvetadze, the No.8 seed, reached the fourth round for the first time with a 6-4 6-3 win over compatriot Evgeniya Rodina.

She next faces Czech Nicole Vaidisova, the No.18 seed, who put out Australia's world No.43 Casey Dellacqua 6-2 6-4.

Vaidisova was a quarter-finalist in 2007 where she lost to Ivanovic despite holding three match points and is desperate to put her season back on track after a nightmare run where she lost six successive first round matches.

She stopped the rot with a quarter-final run at Birmingham two weeks ago and even an hour-long rain suspension couldn't disrupt her rhythm on Friday.

Default Dellacqua run ended by Vaidisova

June 28, 2008

AUSTRALIA'S Casey Dellacqua bowed out of Wimbledon in the third round with a 6-2 6-4 defeat to Czech Nicole Vaidisova, the No.18 seed.

Dellacqua, 43rd in the world rankings, was the second Australian to be knocked out by Vaidisova, who had beaten Sam Stosur in the previous round and who now plays Anna Chakvetadze, the No.8 seed.

The 23-year-old's exit ended Australia's presence in the women's singles before the end of the first week.

Six months after reaching the fourth round at Australian Open, Dellacqua was unable to repeat that feat.

But she can still be relatively satisfied after claiming a first Wimbledon win by shocking 12th seed Patty Schnyder in the first round.

Dellacqua said: "I thought I could put pressure on her after the rain-break but I can't have any complaints. I'll go back to Australia when I've finished in the doubles here and get ready for the hard court season and the Olympics.''

Vaidisova hailed the impact of her new coach, Britain's David Felgate, as she recovers from a woeful run of six successive first round exits earlier this year.

"I definitely played a great match,'' she said.

"I've made some changes in my team, a new coach. The changes needed some time.

"It doesn't come overnight, so I'm happy it's paying off and I'm showing some progress.''

Dellacqua got off to the worst possible start as she was broken in the first game after an over-rule from the umpire on break point.

The occasional booming winner from the Perth-based left-hander counted for little when she too often produced careless unforced errors as well.

She couldn't convert a break point at 2-3 and that was as close as she came to getting back into the match.

Vaidisova, a graceful yet sometimes unpredictable performer, easily took the first set in 23 minutes.

She kept the pressure on in the second set and broke for 3-2 lead before a lengthy rain delay at 4-3 gave Dellacqua a final chance to regroup.

But when the players finally re-emerged, Vaidisova held serve twice to see out the win.
