Day three has come and gone at the famed tennis courts in England. While the big story on the men's side is Novak Djokovic losing his second round match, the big story on the women's side is the close three set win for top seed Ana Ivanovic.
Ivanovic lost the first set to French player Nathalie Delchy 7-6. The top ranked player lost the tiebreaker, 7-2. Ivanovic would win the second set, 7-6 after winning the second set tiebreaker, 7-3. Ivanovic then won the final set, 10-8. Ivanovic will now face Chinese player Jie Zheng in the third round.
Fourth seed Svetslana Kuznetsova won in straight sets (6-2, 6-3) over Kateryna Bondarenko, to advance to the third round. Kuznetsova will face Barbora Zahlavova Strycova in the third round.
Sixth seed Serena Williams advanced to the third round after defeating Urszula Radwanska in straight sets (6-4, 6-4). Williams advances to the third round for a second straight year. Since 2000, Williams has made it past the third round eight times, not participating in 2006. The third round will be a showdown of former Wimbledon champions as Williams faces Amelie Mauresmo, the 2006 Wimbledon champion.
