Tamira Paszek reached the fourth round during her debut here in Wimbledon in 2007. Four years later, she returns to the fourth round after a tough 3 hour plus match today against French Open champion Francesca Schiavone. Her tenacity and tough groundstrokes helped her to the end since Schiavo ran down all the balls that she gave to her.
Interestingly, her opponent in the fourth round is ranked even lower than her, #89 Ksenia Pervak of Russia, so on paper, Tamira has a very good chance of reaching her first Grand Slam quarterfinal! Finally, the future of Austrian tennis is showing some really good results! Let's see if she really rises to the occasion!
