Two weeks of grass courts await us from tommorow

Tommorow is the day that the main draw at Wimbledon Championships will start. The suprising withdraw of Rafael Nadal, who was last years champion, made Roger Federer the highest ranked player that will play. On the number one spot was puted Juan-Martin Del Potro. Tommorow there are alot interesting clashes including the chance for a rematch of Tsvetana Pironkova against Jil Craybas who defeated her in the first round of Rolland Garros. The tournament will be opened from Roger Federer on centre court against Yen-Hsun Lu from Taipei. After him last year`s runner up Serena Williams will have to face Neuza Silva from Portugal. After then on court will be Novak Djokovic, who will look to make a better run from last years 2nd round where he lost to Marat Safin, will fave Julien Bennetau from France who reached the final at Kiutzbeal as a lucky looser.
On court number one the tournament will be opened by former winner Maria Sharapova who will face Victoria Kutuzova from Ukraine. After that Rolland Garros suprise Robin Sodeling will face Gilles Muller. Spanish Fernando Verdasco will have to face James Ward from Great Britain. Verdasco isn`t showing good form on grass and this is a good way to win some points from Wimbleon.
On other courts we see Elena Dementieva and Laura Robson. Dementieva isn`t very good on grass and it will not be a suprise if she loses early. Robson who is last years junior champion earned a wildcard for the main draw whe she will face Daniela Hantuchova from Slovakia. This match might be very tricky for Daniela as she has to face a girl that surely can play on grass.

The match started very even as both won easyly they`re servis games. When Dmitri earned an oppurtunity when leading 4-3 in the first set he broke and then held his serve to take the first set 6-3. The second set was a real fight. at 1-1 and 2-2 Tursunov had break points but he couldn`t use them and he had some problems in the tenth game of the second set. He destroyes his opponent after this as in the tiebreak fist he started very well leading 4-1 and after that he led 5-3. When he served for the match at 5 to 4 points in the longest rally of match Dmitri missed by one inch and lost his oppurtunity. After this everybody though we will see a long tiebreak because of Dmitri`s ankle but he made a briliant return after the fast first serve and Frank sent his Demi-Volley in the net and Tursunov grabed the title in Eastbourn having alot confidence for Wimbledon now.
