The Massacre At Wimbledon


The Massacre at Wimbledon continues.

No.1, and newly-crowned French Open champion Ana Ivanovic was disposed of rather brutally by a Wild Card entry!

And, to top it off, my own personal favorite Amelie Mauresmo battled hard...for one set...against Serena Williams. Okay so that last one wasn't a shock, but I was pretty sad nonetheless.

This has been a crazy Wimbledon!

Here are the big names from the men's side who have dumped out, rather unceremoniously, before the second week:

Novak Djokovic, Andy Roddick, James Blake, Fernando Gonzalez, David Ferrer, David Nalbandian, and Nikolay Davydenko (check the betting patterns on that last one!).

Here's the list from the women's side:

Ana Ivanovic, Maria Sharapova, Lindsay Davenport, and Amelie Mauresmo.

To make things worse, Jelena Jankovic suffered a knee injury and just about scraped through a win.

Things are getting interesting...
