THE CHAMPIONSHIPS, WIMBLEDON
Day 7 review - Monday 2nd July 2007.

Wimbledon resumed after the Sunday rest day, but it was another day where rain played havoc
with the scheduling; some third round matches having still not been completed.
Justine Henin opened proceedings on centre court and completed a comfortable straight-sets
win over Patty Schnyder. Serena Williams was taken to three sets before overcoming Daniela
Hantuchova, while Venus Williams was given a fright by unseeded Akiko Morigami, the Japanese
journeywoman serving for the match in the third set before Venus broke back to take a three-set
victory.
Svetlana Kuznetsova, Nadia Petrova and Ana Ivanovic both enjoyed straight-sets wins, but
unseeded Austrian Tamira Paszek’s giant-killing run continued when she upset 12th seed Elena
Dementieva.
Wayne Arthurs’ singles campaign is over, the veteran Australian bowing out in straight sets to
Jonas Bjorkman. Marcos Baghdatis and Tomas Berdych also enjoyed straight-sets wins; but few
mens’ matches were completed before the rain returned. Lleyton Hewitt is locked at 1 set all with
Guillermo Canas, Nikolay Davydenko is up 2 sets and a break, Novak Djokovic won his first set
against Nicolas Keifer with the second on serve at 6-5. All will have to come back tonight to finish
their matches, as will 2nd seed Raphael Nadal. The young Spaniard dropped the 3rd and 4th
sets of his match against Swede Robin Soderling and will return tonight to play a 5th set.
In a bid to make up some of the backlog of matches, play will commence (weather permitting) on
all courts at 11am London time (8pm Sydney time) tonight.
