Review of second day of Wimbledon...


Andy Murray
Andy Murray had a spectacular match with Robert Kendricks last night. The match eventually ended 7-5, 6-7(3-7), 6-3, 6-4. Robert Kendricks played an exception good match yesterday. He saved a match point after Andy Murray broke him in the fourth set. But eventually, Andy Murray's skill and talent combined which led him to winning this match. This dude is the top favourite in his home nation. He has won the Queen's club event 2 weeks ago. He is the man that have potential to win Roger Federer in the final of this Wimbledon.



Marat Safin
Marat Safin, the 14th seed in this tournament was beaten 6-2 3-6 7-6 (7/4) 6-4 by 21 year old Jesse Levine in just two hours and 16 minutes on Court 18. Marat Safin announce the other day that he intend to retire at the end of this season. Therefore, this was his last Wimbledon match. So now we shall give a salute to the former World no. 1 and hope his younger sister, Dinara Safina can win her first Grand Slam title.




Juan Martin Del Potro
Juan Martin Del Potro, the youngster from Argentina that i love in the top 10 list (that's mean Roger Federer is old already. Haha ), was the one that can change the world of tennis and make it even cooler. He has proven by winning Arnaud Clement from France 6-3 6-1 6-2 victory in just 97 minutes. What an AWESOME dude! Juan Martin Del Potro was controlling the game the whole time. Arnaud Clement do not have a chance of breaking the Mighty Argentine.




Andy Roddick
Andy Roddick has beaten Jeremy Chardy from France 6-3, 7-6(7-3), 4-6, 6-3. Andy Roddick was a big server dude. He mostly got his points through his spectacular serve. But he has a temper issue. However, Ivo Karlovic is much better at serving.




Gilles Simon
Gilles Simon, 8th seed from France ease through the second round by winning Bobby Reynolds from USA 6-4, 6-3, 6-3. I do not much like Gilles Simon because he seldom shave, so he looks like a monkey.




Lleyton Hewitt
Did you guys know that Lleyton Hewitt won a Wimbledon title at 2002? I am not sure he was the World no. 1 that time but I am pretty sure that he was the World no. 1 for two years. He won the exibition match againts Rafael Nadal last week. He also eases through the second with an impressive 6-4, 6-1, 6-1 win over Robby Ginepri from USA. He might have the chance to advance all the way into the semi final.

These are some important match that have been noted.
