Wimbledon 2008 begins today at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in Wimbledon, London. Women’s singles top seed Ana Ivanovic has stormed into the second round of the tournament after defeating Paraguayan Rossana De Los Rios 6-1, 6-2 in direct sets. The French Open winner did not have to face any challenge from her opponent to clinch the victory. Ivanovic fans are also happy because their favorite player did not face any shoulder problem that kept her out of Eastbourne last week. The Serbian star also was delighted with the easy victory in the tournament opener and expressed her hope to have a great tournament.
Guardian reported:
"Everyone wants to have confidence coming into a grand slam and that's my goal, too," said Ivanovic. "I want to keep focused and there are some things that I need to improve, but I hope to have a great tournament."
Ana Ivanovic will face N Dechy from France in the second round. Swiss star Patty Schnyder has been the victim of first upset as she was beaten by Australian C Dellacqua 4-6, 6-3, 1-6. Except this, the other top seeds including fourth seed Svetlana Kuznetsova, sixth seed Serena Williams and eighth seed Ana Chakvetadze all won their first round matches today.
