Wimbledon 2008 – Vaidisova wins opener
Nick’s Picks will have complete coverage of Wimbledon 2008, and we are teaming with Tennis Week and The Independent Newspaper in London to provide in-depth analysis throughout the tournament! Also, be sure to listen for Nick on Radio Wimbledon each day at 4pm EST!
Having what can only be described as her worst year on the WTA Tour, Nicole Vaidisova is looking to right the ship at Wimbledon. Well, today she got off to a fast start with a 6-2, 6-2 victory over Zuzana Ondraskova in the first round. Vaidisova, who has trained at the NBTA since she was a girl, capitalized on four of five break chances and won 100% of the points on her first serve!
We couldn’t ask for a better start for Nicole than this. In the second round she will face Australian Samantha Stosur, who beat Ioana Raluca Olaru in straight sets. The good news for Vaidisova is that she is 5-0 against Stosur in her career, including a win over her on grass last year at Eastbourne.
Stay tuned for updates throughout the tournament…
