Today was an off day in England. The fourth round will get started on Monday. Here are the match ups.
Jie Zheng vs. #15 Agnes Szavay- Zheng scored one of the biggest upsets at Wimbledon when she knocked off Ana Ivanovic on Friday.
#18 Nicole Vaidisova vs. #8 Anna Chakvetadze- Whoever wins this match has the chance to potentially make it all the way to the semi finals.
#4 Svetslana Kuznetsova vs. #14 Agnieszka Radwanska- Kuznetsova has done very well for herself. A win over Radwanska would get Kuznetsova into the quarterfinals at Wimbledon for the fourth time (second straight.)
Bethanie Mattek vs. #6 Serena Williams- There are three American women in the final 16. Two of them will be going face to face. Only one will make their way into the quarterfinals.
#5 Elena Dementieva vs. #24 Shahar Peer- This is the farthest Peer has made it at Wimbledon. Peer scored a huge upset over #9 Dianara Safina. Dementieva had her easiest match in the third round when she defeated Gisela Dulko of Argentina.
#21 Nadia Petrova vs. Alla Kudryavtseva- The Russians are representing very well at Wimbledon. However, there will be one less Russian after this match.
#7 Venus Williams vs. Alisa Kleybanova- Williams looks to continue her dominance at Wimbledon. Kleybanova scored a huge win over #10 Daniela Hantuchova. Could the 17-year-old Russian score another huge upset?
#2 Jelena Jankovic vs. Tamarine Tanasugarn - Jankovic is the highest seeded woman left at Wimbledon. It's her third straight year in the fourth round. Jankovic needs a win to reach her first ever quarterfinal appearance at Wimbledon. Tanasugarn is a veteran and has reached the fourth round of Wimbledon many times before. She's reached the fourth round for a seventh time. One of these two will make it to the quarterfinals for the first time in London.
Stay tuned
