Day Seven Roundup

Happy Birthday Svetlana Kuznetsova!



Svetlana Kuznetsova turned 20 years old on Monday AND won her match against Magdalena Maleeva today. Hooray for her!

Andy Roddick



Andy Roddick cruised into the quarterfinals with a straight sets win over Guillermo Coria 6-3, 7-6 (7-1), 6-4. Check out his shorts in this picture. Rowwwwr. D'ya think he's happy?

Mary Pierce



The Jesus freak is through to the quarterfinals of Wimbledon for only the second time in her career; the first time was in 1996. I just don't like her. Blech. Hopefully Venus Williams will give her a good drubbing on Tuesday and I won't have to see her again. It's all in Jesus's hands now, Mary.

Anastasia Myskina



I totally didn't think she'd win today, and for a while Elena Dementieva was right on top of her, thumping her in the first set. Normally when you make 52 unforced errors in a match, you lose. She had more unforced errors (52 to 34) and fewer winners (23 to 25) than Dementieva, but somehow she managed to win. This also proves that you can win more games in a match than your opponent and still lose the match. Myskina won 15 games to Dementieva's 17. It just doesn't seem fair, does it? She won the points that counted.

Amelie Mauresmo



"RRRRRRRRRRRR! Mauresmo HUNGRY for VICTORY!"

Mauresmo continued her quiet creep through the draw with a definitive win over Elena Likhovtseva. Nobody's pegging her to win this tournament. Poor Amelie...always a bridesmaid.

Martina Navratilova



Martina's like, "Hey guys, I know I'm like older than the rest of you put together, but can you stop farting around so we can PLAY some TENNIS?"

Martina Navratilova and Anna-Lena Groenefeld continued their march through the ladies' doubles competition with a straight sets third round victory over Shinobu Asagoe and Katarina Srebotnik. They play Vera Douchevina and Shahar Peer next.

Meanwhile, Roger Federer's like, "dum-de-dum-diddly-dee, I'm having fun!"



Roger Federer won his fourth round match against Juan Carlos Ferrero 6-3, 6-4 7-6. Big fuckin' surprise there.

Maria Sharapova



Nathalie Dechy looks afraid of the ball here. She should be!

Maria Sharapova beat Nathalie Dechy 6-4, 6-2. You'd have to be Mr. Magoo to not see this one coming. She plays Nadia Petrova next. I bet Lindsay Davenport is having dreams of Nadia Petrova drubbing Maria Sharapova on Tuesday. Mmmm, sleep tight!

Venus Williams



Venus is like, "You mess with my sister, you mess with ME!"



Jill Craybas is like, "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"

Dmitry Tursunov



Sebastien Grosjean beat Dmitry Tursunov 6-4, 6-7 (5-7), 6-3, 3-6, 6-1. Tursunov is the guy who knocked Henman out. Do you realize what this means? NOTHING AT ALL!

Lindsay Davenport



Now that she has knocked out Kim Clijsters, everyone's saying how she's going to win. Tracey Austin won't shut up about it. Sure, Davenport has beaten the big names left in the draw. Sure, she's playing better than she has in years and seems to really have the hunger to win another title...but it's only the quarterfinals. She plays Svetlana Kuznetsova next. Those two have played each other twice. Kuznetsova beat her at the US Open in 2004 on her way to the title, and Davenport beat her this year on carpet. It ought to be interesting.
