Looking back at a remarkable Monday

Yesterday was remarkable. Not only did organisers manage to churn through all 16 matches, plus some doubles to boot, but some big names fell in battle.

Both Williams sisters in one day. Unheard of, literally. Until yesterday. Throw the Ladies' world No.1 into the 'notable exits' pot and we've got ourselves a wide open championship from here on in.

As in the Mens' draw, there are still two unseeded ladies left with Sabine Lisicki impressing on her way to the quarters.

Azarenka is the highest ranked Lady left in, but the world No.5 gazumped as favourite by former champ Sharapova, whose hard-hitting gruntfest has propelled her to this stage for the first time in five years.

Then there's Marion Bartoli, who is our dark horse for the title, she made the final in 2007 and reached the semis at Roland Garros earlier this month.

However, the spotlight is now on la Francais following her dismantling of reigning champ Serena Williams yesterday.

Next up we'll have a look at all the competitors before they get started...
