Ladies Wimbledon Preview

Greetings, welcome to the first edition of the Women's Sports Report. This site is devoted to women's sports. I am your editor/senior writer/webmaster/etc., otherwise known as Nos. You might remember me from such sites as Oh No Romo. Today, we will preview The Championships at Wimbledon. Here are some notable seeds for the tournament. Please note, the number represents the seeds.

1. Ana Ivanovic- Things are going well for this young Serb. Ivanovic is coming off her first career grand slam title at the French Open. Now, she has a chance to win her second straight grand slam title.

3. Maria Sharapova- Sharapova's won one Wimbledon title, now she has an opportunity to win a second one. Can she do it, or will there be other stiff competition that keeps Sharapova from winning on the grass courts.

4. Svetlana Kuznetsova- The former U.S. Open champion looks to make her way back into grand slam galore. Her two previous grand slam tournaments this year, she came up short. Kuznetsova suffered a third round loss at the Australian Open and a semi final loss at the French Open. Nothing is sweeter than winning at Wimbledon after all!

6 and 7. Serena and Venus Williams- In the last decade, it seems that the Williams sisters have always brought their A-game to Wimbledon. The two have won six of the last eight Wimbledon titles with Venus being the defending champion. The only time neither Williams sister was in the final was in 2006. Expect the Williams sisters to bring it!

25. Lindsay Davenport- The 32-year-old has been around for a long time. She's the last American, not a Williams sister, to win a Wimbledon title. Davenport was a runner-up in 2005. Could Davenport be in the twilight of her career.

That's all I have for now. I'll keep the updates going for Wimbledon. So rock on!
