Julia will be on position 22, toughest possible 1st round opponents are obviously Venus and Clijsters but also players like Makarova,Pironkova,Shvedova, Oudin etc. could be tricky.
I hope she gets a good draw and no Dutchie in 1st round.
Toughest possible 3rd round opponents are Bartoli,Li or Ivanovic also could face Zvonareva,Errani or Pennetta (which seems to be easier) or the surprise bags Cibulkova/Lisicki!
Will be interesting for sure, on a good day Julia will be able to beat any possible 1st round opponent anywy, except for Kim and Venus. Hopefully she learned from her mistakes from Paris and Gastein and stays focused.
Clay season was average this year but she had some success on hard court earlier, so grass also should suit here this year, she will have all chances as long as her serve works but she absolutely has to avoid cheap UEs when she has the chance to go for "easy" winners but that is mostly a question of concentration...

Yeah again, Julia should make the third round there again to certainly meet Victoria who'll be a whole lot different story for her -- hopefully we'll get that latter showing.
Well considering Serena is on court 2 and Victoria on court 1, we could easily conclude that it's the anti-WTA/pro-ATP crusade so no worries on that side. :lol: Just hope Julia wins.
Good start from Frau Görges, Peer really suits her game it seems, fantastic stats and no break for Peer in the whole match!
Next round vs Minella or Yakimova, has to win this as well but Julia has to be careful, she has to stay focused, I honestly don´t expect her as easy as today but should be a two sets win!!
Anyway, last time Julia lost in the first round of a slam was 2 years ago here at Wimbledon against Bartoli, can be really satisfied with that but I hope that she will take her chances in future at slams as well as QF in Paris was more than possible and here in Wimbledon 3rd round against Ivanovic already will be too tough, I guess, but we´ll see, everything is possible these days at WTA tour!
We all know, crucially are Julia's 3rd round matched. But good to see that she's become so consistent in early rounds at GS's, where always some other top-ranked players have problems, and despite she rarely has that great results in the run-up.
Julia will play the 2nd match not before 1pm BST on Court 4 tomorrow. No show court again.
She plays for fun I guess. She won't play mixed at the Olympics as Petzschner decided to team up with Angie, and I reckon there's no chance for a 2nd German team.
