THE CHAMPIONSHIPS, WIMBLEDON
Day 3 review - Wednesday 27th June 2007.

The day started with a short rain delay and finished with a long rain delay. In between, the tennis was again
exciting, despite any top seeds falling into any danger. The closest to getting in trouble was Chilean 5th seed
Fernando Gonzalez, who dropped his first set against Colombian Alejandro Falla and dropped his serve early
in the 4th set before fighting back to take that set and the match in a tie-break.
Elsewhere, Andy Roddick was untroubled with a straight-sets win, while Justin Henin was in devastating form
in overcoming Vera Dushevina, while Jelena Jankovic breezed past Jarmila Gajdosova 6-1 6-1. Martina Hingis
and Elena Dementieva also had straight-sets wins, although Dementieva was made to fight to a second set
tiebreak against Nathalie Dechy. Top seed Roger Federer took a 2 sets to 0 lead over Juan Martin Del Potro
before the rain arrived.
It wasn't a great day for the Australians. Alicia Molik was up a break against Serena Williams in both sets but the
American broke back to take a straight-sets win. Sam Stosur was also disappointingly eliminated, going down
to Venezualan Milagros Sequera. The only Aussie winner was Nicole Pratt, who prevailed in straight sets
against fellow Aussie Casey Dellaqua.
