Wimbledon 2011 Featured Player: Melinda Czink
Melinda Czink of Hungary, currently ranked #262, caused a stir, as she defeated #10 player, Samantha Stosur 63 64. Czink is already a veteran of the tour so she is used to the ups and downs of this sport. She has been in the Top 100 before and has reached as high as #37 in the world in 2009.
Today, she defeated Anastasiya Yakimova of Belarus, ranked #100, 75 63, which puts her into the third round of Wimbledon, the farthest she has ever been in this tournament. Her opponent will still be decided between Brit Elena Baltacha and Peng Shuai of China.
Her success her should help catapult her ranking up.
