Tamira has always thrived on grass! On her debut here in 2007, she reached the fourth round. Last year, she made the quarters! This year, she won Eastbourne before coming here to Wimbledon but drew former world #1 Caroline Wozniacki on the first round. Tough luck! However, as I was watching her last night, you could really see that she was playing very well! It's good that Wozniacki, although still in the Top 10, is not really considered an aggressive player. She can play defense very well, but lacks the killer instinct still, to dominate an opponent. She did show some signs of those in the second set, but in the deciding third set, Paszek groundstrokes were just immaculate! Still Wozniacki gave her a hard time before finally conceding.
It's great to see Tamira move deeper into the tournament!
