In a battle of former Wimbledon champions, two-time champion Serena Williams defeated 2006 champion Amelie Mauresmo in straight sets. Williams clinched the first set 7-6. She won the tiebreaker 7-5. Williams, the sixth seed would win the second set, 6-1. Her opponent in the fourth round will be Bethanie Mattek. Mattek knocked off 11-seed Marion Bartoli, 6-4 and 6-1.
Eighth seed Anna Chakvetadze and 18-seed Nicole Vaidisova both advanced in their third round matches. They will square off against each other in the fourth round.
