Zheng Jie beats Ana Ivanovic
Wow, another massive upset in Wimbledon. First Djokovic then Sharapova now Ivanovic, the ranked number 1 player in the world. She got knocked out in straight sets by Zheng Jie from China, who’s ranked like 131 or something.
I can just see the massive media spin that’s going to happen in China over this. They’ll probably gloss over the fact that the win was more due to Invanovic’s poor performance recently than any spectacular skills from Zheng.

Zheng’s also beat Vaidisova. No matter how you look at it, the girl has some sort of talent. Or a large amount of luck, which is also a great thing to have. Personally, my money is on Serena. I also want to see another Williams vs. Williams final.
Maybe all the (good) women are just taking it easy in light of the upcoming Summer Games.
