Laura Robson v (5) Maria Sharapova (RUS) Thursday 3rd on Court 1

I can't see Elena getting on court today, especially if it rains, but brief stats:

L64: (WC) Laura Robson WR 254 (CH 189 last Oct) v (5) Maria Sharapova (RUS) WR 6 (CH 1 in 2005)

Wimbledon: Laura W 1 L 1 - best R2 this year, Maria W 29 L 7 - best WIN in 2004, but she has gone out in R2 in two of the last three years.

L64: Elena Baltacha WR 68 (CH 49 last Sep) v (20) Peng Shuai (CHN) WR 20 (= CH)

Both have won 6 matches at Wimbledon (Elena L 9, Peng L 5) with a best of R3 (in 2002 for Elena, 2006 & 2008 for Peng)

H2H: 0-1 - Peng won 2-6 6-1 6-4 in Pattaya in February this year

(matches won/lost at Wimbledon may include w/os, I haven't checked)

The odds imply that Elena has a 35% chance and Laura a 5% chance. I've no intention of jinxing anyone by betting, but I have to say, one of them looks like a very tempting bet - strangely, her odds have gone out to 2.85 since the previous post.

Bally could be on shortly, Laura might have to wait until tomorrow.

Bally might get on by half 7, but there are least 2 sets left in the Tsonga match so can't see that being done much before 8. Too late to start surely for Sharapova & Robson.

They started Ivanovic/Oudin at 8.25 a couple of nights ago.

You just beat me to that, Phil.

I did think that a very strange one, but Ana actually did get it done and dusted in 48 minutes  ( 6 - 0  6 - 1 )

Tomorrow's schedule out already. Laura is 9th on court 56, while Bally is 12th on in the car park.
