First Week's Play
Today is the middle Sunday of the tournament and, with no matches taking place, the players and spectators can have a rest and reflect on the first week's play. So far there has been excellent tennis, fine weather, and a few shocks as highly rated players have unexpectedly crashed out. On the men's side, number three seed Novak Djokovic was defeated by Marat Safin and two-times finalist Andy Roddick also headed home prematurely. However, the last sixteen include the two top seeds Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal along with British number one, Andy Murray. Murray, although not expected to win the tournament, has been impressive with victories over Tommy Haas and Xavier Malisse.
The ladies also lost highly ranked players in number one seed Ana Ivanovic and previous winner Maria Sharapova seeded three. This opens up the possibility of a Williams' sisters final and that's a prospect that may lack interest, entertainment, and even, as some are suggesting, competitiveness.
