WIMBLEDON 2006 - Long Hot Summer
30/06/2006:

On the first real summer day at Wimbledon, Justine defeated young Russian
talent Anna Chakvetadze 6-2 6-3, and became the first player in this year's
grand slam to enter the 4th round. The midday 29 C heat caused problems with
line call sighting and the patches of drier grass created odd ball bounces,
but the gallant Belgian has made it into the 2nd week. She will have Saturday
and Sunday as rest days, and play the 4th round match on Monday.

The first set started out very strongly for the ambitious Anna Chakvetadze
with solid serves. A finalist in Junior Wimbledon in 2003, the young Russian
was very comfortable on grass. Justine's game came to life from 2-1 in the
set as she started to hit harder, and caused Chakvetadze to fumble against
flashy unreadable returned shots. The high 80% first serves for the grand
Belgian only accentuated to the young Russian the difference in stature as
she threw mini temper tantrums berating herself. A few bad line calls also
fustrated Chakvetadze as Justine observed nonchalantly from the other end of
the court. The first set went to Justine 6-2 in 30 minutes.

The second set was more of the same, as Justine won rallies that started with
aggressive shots from the young Russian, but were of no avail to Chakvetadze.
Justine's young opponent played a few good games and won breakpoints off very
loose Henin-Hardenne serves. Anna had 2 winners compared to Justine's 14 in
the second set. The queen of clay passed her first test at the All England
Lawn And Tennis Club, she won the second set 6-3 in 35 minutes of play.

Final score 6-2 6-3 in 65 minutes
