Now that we
are down to the last sixteen players this is what I see has the business end of
the tournament, were players feel better about playing on the grass court.
Men
Novak Djokovic played well against Tommy Hass and Tommy is
only player that has managed to break Novak serve in this Wimbledon. Novak seems
really focused and I would be very surprised if he did not make the final.
Andy Murray did enough to win the match and at one point was
trailing in the second set but managed to come back and win in straight sets.
He also is coming across as very focused and I hope from a UK perspective he makes
it to his second Wimbledon final.
Women
Very disappointed to see Serena exit the tournament but if I
am honest she has not had the complete focus that she normally has at grand slams
and although the has been moving around the court really well. I thought her
return of serve really let her down today and she also seemed a little intimidated by
Sabine Lisicki. However I am confident that Serena will bounce back and win the US
open.
Sloane Stephens did will to beat Monica Puig but now she face
Marion Bartoli and she is going to need to step it up a couple more gears to
beat Marion.
Laura Robson did very well against Kaia Kanpei and it was always
going to be a tall ask to expect her to beat Kanepi. Laura will have gained from valuable
experience and ranking points which definitely help to make her life easier coming
into the hard court season.
