How lovely is Thursday's slate of early round matches at Wimbledon? So lovely that ones involving Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic, Caroline Wozniacki Ana Ivanovic, John Isner (back on Court 18 for the first time since last year's marathon) and a battle between Robin Soderling and a former Grand Slam champion didn't even make Busted Racquet's matches to watch.
1. Serena Williams (7) vs. Simona Halep, Court 2, 7 a.m. ET
Every match Serena plays at the All England Club is must-see tennis because everything's on the table whenever they steps on the court. You say she is going to win 6-0, 6-0, I'd think it. You say she is going to lose in straights? I'd think it. In theory, Halep should not pose as much of a threat as Aravane Rezai did in the first round but, then again, nobody thought Kimiko Date-Krumm was going to hang with Venus for as long as they did on Wednesday.
