Into the third round for most players, the point at which, should all earlier results have
gone to form, seeds would be meeting for the first time. But such has been the
unpredictable nature of this year's Championships that several unseeded players remain
alive. One of them is Australia's Jarmila Groth, who made it through to the round of 16 with
an impressive straight-sets win over Germany's Angelique Kerber.
Both Australians still alive in the singles' draw got through, with 15th seed and 2002
champion Lleyton Hewitt too good for French livewire Gael Monfils, progressing in straight
sets.
12th seed Tomas Berdych had a struggle to get through his third round game against
Uzbekistan's Denis Istomin. The first three sets failed to produce any service breaks and
went to tie-breaks, and twice Istomin got through the breaker to take the set. But the
seeded Czech finally hit his straps in the fourth and fifth sets, breaking Istomin's serve at
last to complete a 5-set victory.
Nadia Petrova also had her campaign brought to an end, going down to 17th seed Justine
Henin in straight sets. 15th seed Yanina Wickmayer was never in the hunt against Vera
Zvonareva and suffered a similar fate.
Two matches remained in the second round. 13th seed Mikhail Youzhny completed his 5-set
marathon which commenced yesterday, but went out in the final set to Paul-Henri Mathieu.
And a full match was required for John Isner and Thiemo De Bakker after Isner's epic first
round match.
De Bakker had enjoyed a day off and was fresh and ready for action, while Isner was
unable to back up from the previous day's heroics. Where Isner had served well over 100
aces in his marathon against Mahut, the exhausted American 23rd seed was unable to
produce a single ace and, fatigued and unable to maintain the hype of his previous match,
was never in the contest and exited the tournament in straight sets.
