*Ana-Watch : Beaten by Zheng 6-1 6-4*

Wimbledon

comment on the article

World number one and French Open Champion Ana Ivanovic has lost in the third round after a disappointing loss to Zheng Jie.

Ana's form since May 2008 :

Wimbledon = Third Round: Bt De Los Rios, Bt Dechy, Beaten by Zheng
Paris = *WINNER*: Bt Arvidsson, Bt Safarova, Bt Wozniacki, Bt Cetkovska, Bt Schnyder, Bt Jankovic, Bt Safina
Rome = Second Round: Bye, Pironkova bt Ivanovic
Berlin = Semi-Final: Bt Amanmuradova, Bt Bammer, Bt Szavay, Dementieva bt Ivanovic

12 wins, 3 defeats.

Ana's Wimbledon:[Rd 1] De Los Rios 6-1 6-2
[Rd 2] Dechy 6-7 7-6 10-8
[Rd 3] Zheng 1-6 4-6
Wimbledon record :

2005 - Lost Third Round
2006 - Lost Fourth Round
2007 - Lost Semi-Final
2008 = Lost Third Round

Ana goes into her fourth Wimbledon campaign on the back of a brilliant victory in Paris when taking her first grand slam title, coupled with her taking the world number one status. Seeded #1 in SW19, Ana will be again one of the favourites but the likes of the Williams and Sharapova have previous success in London, so the task is difficult but were she to win she would certainly establish her standing as the best female player on the planet.

Bad luck Ana, still a Grand Slam champion.

I bet the return on a Williams win has gone down dramatically in the last 2 days.
