She defeated Schiavone in the third round, then Ksenia Pervak in the fourth round, which made her earn her first quarterfinal appearance in a Grand Slam! When I first saw her play years ago in Wimbledon, I really thought that that was the beginning of Tamira's ascent in women's tennis. But it took some time for her to be back in the swing of things again - and her impressive quarterfinal appearance here in Wimbledon should remind her of what she is capable of doing. She has the game that can threated everyone in the Top 5 and she needs to build her confidence that she can do it week in, week out. I just really hope she does not falter again after Wimbledon, like she did before. Barbara Schett was the last Austrian woman I remember to reach the Top 10. It's not impossible for Tamira to do just that!

Tamira Paszek's Quarterfinal Appearance A Rejuvenation!
