The fourth round of Wimbledon is missing a couple high seeds however there is no shortage of talent in the tournament as Maria Sharapova and Serena Williams continue their trek to the final.
Watch and bet on Serena Williams vs Marion Bartoli at bet365>live tennis.
Wimbledon 2011's first three rounds have been completed at the All England Club as the original field of 128 has been narrowed down to just 16 players. Those sixteen players do not include all of the high seeds as both Na Li and Vera Zvonareva, the third and second seeds respectively, suffered early round losses.
The top four favorites remaining in the tournament (Source:
bet365), in order, are Serena Williams, Maria Sharapova, Petra Kvitova, and Caroline Wozniacki.
Nadia Petrova, hardly a favorite to win the title, is a player who has made some unexpected noise at Wimbledon 2011. She has fallen in the rankings in recent months but her fourth round appearance is resurgent especially since she went through Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova.
Caroline Wozniacki looks reasonably safe to advance although there are no locks any longer. She'll face Dominika Cibulkova in the fourth round a player who has just two career wins in the fourth round of a Grand Slam draw, with neither of those wins from Wimbledon.
Wozniacki and Sharapova, should they both win their next matches, would showdown in the quarterfinals in a battle that would be between two prosective finalists.
Kvitova could blast her way through to the final while Serena Williams might be in trouble against Marion Bartoli in the fourth round as the French player is on form at the moment.
Championship match prediction: Petra Kvitova vs Serena Williams.
