2-7-15 WIMBLEDON RESULTS

MENS

NOVAK DJOKOVIC (Serbia) BEAT J NIEMINEN (Finland) 6-4, 6-2, 6-3

NOVAK SIMPLIFIES IT

Novak Djokovic showed off his class in the second round match as he found it very easy in passing his Finnish opponent. He showed he had that bit of class in beating him in straight sets. Djokovic showed that he always is one to watch out for.

MARION CILIC (Croatia) BEAT BERANKIS (Lithuania) 6-3, 4-6, 7-6, 4-6, 7-5

CILIC FINDS IT TOUGH

Marion Cilic has had the right type of match in his second round match with a difficult 5 set match. There are problems with his game as he will go forward in this tournament as he is aiming to go deeper as he was not able to get true control of this match and down the line I feel he will find it tough.

MILOS RAONIC (Canada) BEAT T HAAS (Germany) 6-0, 6-2, 6-7, 7-6

FROM HORROR TO HELL

The problem with Ramos in this match is the fact that as the match went on he got progressively worse rather than better and allowed his opponent into the game. He might have a few niggles to sort out but when they are sorted he could be one to watch out for.

STAN WAWRINKA (Switzerland) BEAT ESTELLA BURGOS (Dominican Republic) 6-3, 6-4, 7-5

SWISS DREAMS

Stan Wawrinka found it quite difficult to get by his opponent as each set was quite close and as he was on top form his opponent did to. There is excitement in the win but as well as that there is disappointment in the fact the sets were close. To be champion he must improve

GRIGOR DIMITROV (Bulgaria) BEAT S JOHNSON (USA)  7-6, 6-2, 7-6

DIMITROV UP AND DOWN IN FORM

Dimitrov is showing definite improvement in hope to go as far as he can in this competition. 2 13 game sets are not good for him but the fact that he won in straight sets can help as he is able to see where he stands. I cannot see him go too much further  

WOMEN'S

SERENA WILLIAMS (USA) BEAT T BABOS (Hungary) 6-4, 6-1

SERENA SHOWS AGE MEANS NOTHING

Serena eased through to the third round but had a few problems dispatching Babos in the first set. We got the chance to see that she is the best female in the tournament in the second.

HEATHER WATSON (GB) BEAT D HANTUCHOVA (Slovakia) 6-4, 6-2

WATSON GOES BEYOND DREAMS

Heather Watson has now equalled the record of a British female at Wimbledon for the last 20 years after winning quite easily in this 2 set match. In the first set we got the chance to see that she can do well in a close one and in the second we saw that she was able to control a set.

MARIA SHARAPOVA (Russia) BEAT R HOGENKAMP (Netherlands) 6-3, 6-1

SHARAPOVA SHOWS CLASS

Maria Sharapova showed that things can be very easy for her in this second round match as she beat Hogenkap. She was able to take control of both sets in winning them 6-3 and 6-1 but she was playing inferior opposition and when she plays a player who is up to her level on grass we have got to see what it is like.

VENUS WILLIAMS (USA) BEAT PUTINTSEVA (Kazakhstan)  7-6, 6-4

VENUS SHOWS AGE MEANS LITTLE

Ve3nus found it tricky to win her second round tie and would be one I would definitely want to do well for the traditions of this tournament. She showed that she was ready for a match after winning 2 very close sets and she is ready for the next match.

MADISON KEYS (USA) BEAT S VOEGELE (Switzerland)  6-7, 6-3, 6-4

KEYS FINDS THINGS VERY TOUGH

Madison Keys has shown that she can get out to a tight spot in this second round match. Another problem with this is that she never did get control of this match but Madison did improve game by game and is part of the new generation which I want to come through.
