Wimbledon Results- Day 2



Those Safin siblings always pack the drama in their tennis bags. Dinara had a tougher than necessary time against Lourdes Dominguez Lino, who fought for every ball, while Marat, playing his last Wimbledon, went down in 4 sets to American Jesse Levine. Andy Murray mania began today when the Scot/Brit stepped on to Center Court to take on Robert Kendrick. Kendrick took the 2nd set in a tiebreak, but Murray cruised in the 3rd and 4th to advance. The other Andy, Roddick, also dropped 1 set in his match against Jeremy Chardy, but the American won to move on to the 2nd round. Juan Martin del Potro, who is in the same quarter as Roddick, looked very impressive in a straight set win over Arnaud Clement in which the Argentine dropped just 6 games. Gilles Simon, Fernando Gonzalez, Nikolay Davydenko and Tomas Berdych all won in straight sets. 2002 Champion Lleyton Hewitt steamrolled Robby Ginepri to set up a 2nd round clash with del Potro. The "Queen of Grass", Venus Williams, advanced easily past Stefanie Vogele. V wore a dress from her line, EleVen. French Open champion Svetlana Kuznetsova win in 2 sets along with Jelena Jankovic and Agnieszka Radwanska. The women had a historic amount of 3 setters on the 2nd day of play as 20 matches went the distance. Caroline Wozniacki had to fight off a valiant affort from 38 year old Kimiko Date-Krumm, who is not in a nursing home yet, after falling behind a set and a break. Ana Ivanovic saved 2 match points to win 8-6 in the third against Lucie Hradecka, while 17 year old American hopeful Melanie Oudin defeated 29th seeded Sybille Bammer after dropping the 1st.
