With Azarenka out of Bouchards half of the draw, I think the Semis are a legitimate possibility

Lots of players have been falling. Would not surprise me if Ferrer withdrew tomorrow

Indeed!

Just saw this interesting nugget:

@Kfish_WTA
Bouchard d. Ivanovic 63 63 - @geniebouchard becomes first Canadian to reach R32 @Wimbledon since 2002 (Drake, R32)

Wozniacki hurts her ankle and looks to be done as well. With all the injuries going on I'd be a bit worried if I was Federer, Mr. Iron Man, that something is going to befall him.

Pospy is serving quite well right now!

He has battled back from being down 4-1 in this tie break!

Now lost 8-6. He is battling out there hopefully he can push this to 5!

Now an Early break!!! Hopefully he can hold all the way now

It's awesome how bright Canada's Tennis future is. Raonic, Pospisil, Bouchard, Levine...

In the past we've had glimpses of hope in the form of Dancevic and Polansky, but these young up-and-coming players all have the potential to be Top 50 players(if not already).

Makes me forget about Simon LaRose and his drug problem...

It wasn't that long ago that Raonic was in Pospisil's ranking, was it?

Amazingly its entirely possible there will be more Canadians left in the 3rd round than Americans. What a difference from the start of the 2000s

Early break in the 5th! When was last time we had 3 Canadians in the round of 32?

I may have jinxed it as he was just broken 4-4 now

What is going on today? Tsonga in trouble, Sharapova drops the 1st set. Wild day so far.

So close. Valiant effort for Pospisil!

Same thing happened in Paris. Pospisil was up a break in the 5th and couldn't close it out. Still a great effort. Too bad since that part of the draw is quite open, Troicki next and then Murray.

Tsonga has retired as well.

Bouchard's section is not quite open yet.. #19 Suarez-Navarro is next (a crafty, difficult player) and then #8 Kvitova (2011 Champion).
