Day Four

At The Wimble Womble, we're probably guilty of concentrating a little hard on the homegrown players and not on the household names.

Make no mistake, though, if there's a story worth telling then we'll tell it. It's hardly news that the Top 4 are all progressing as expected is it?

Federer and Djokovic play second round matches today, although if we neglect to mention them then you can safely assume it's because they've won in straight sets. Either that or it's because we're totally wrapped up in the game of the tournament so far - Soderling v Hewitt.

If there's anyone capable of challenging the Top 4, then the sensible money would be on the World No.5, and that's Robin Soderling. He's first on Centre today and you would bank on him progressing were it not for the fact he's playing Lleyton Hewitt. 

Yes, THAT Lleyton Hewitt of Court No.12 fame and the, er, former World No.1. Tumbling down the world rankings he may well be, but only a fool would count the Australian out.

If you really can't get enough of the Brits, then there are two in action today - and neither are Andy Murray. Elena Baltacha is the fifth match on Court No.2, so any delays at all could see her reach Day Five by default.

Then there's Laura Robson, and it's a show court for the 17 year old as she clashes with No.5 seed Maria Sharapova. The pressure is all on the Russian and the crowd will be heavily behind Robson... the stage is set for some quality Wimbledrama.
