It’s hard to see any danger to the top three ladies’ seeds playing today – Serena Williams, Simona Halep and Maria Sharapova, but over on No.3 Court Ana Ivanovic, the No.11 seed, is at risk against Zheng Jie.
The former Wimbledon semi-finalist, who won the doubles title here in 2006 with Yan Zi, beat enough decent players at s’-Hertogenbosch last week to suggest that she has got her grass-court game working nicely. Many fans will be wanting Serena to beat the South African Chanelle Scheepers on No.1 Court to keep alive hopes of a fourth-round match-up against the exciting Eugenie Bouchard, if not a mouth-watering quarter-final against Sharapova. The Russian plays Timea Bacsinszky, of Switzerland, later on the same court. Heather Watson must hope that the Centre Court crowd can carry her into the second week of The Championships, which is her goal. It’s just a pity that she has had the misfortune to run into someone as good and as in-form as ninth seed Angelique Kerber, who is capable of replicating the achievement of her fellow countrywoman Sabine Lisicki last year by reaching the final.
