1. Second-round scoreboard-report: Chakvetadze v Poutchek
(Thursday 28th June)
---------------------------------------------------------
+ ANNA CHAKVETADZE [8,EF] d. Tatiana Poutchek, 6-2 6-1
The match was first on Court 14, starting at 11:14. I followed live
scores, but only on a game-by-game basis as I had a three-way clash
including Daniela Hantuchová on TV!
First set
---------
CHAKVETA * *@* *@ 6
POUTCHEK _*___*__ 2
Anna came through a deucy service-game to hold for 4-1*.
Anna won the first set at 11:44 (30m).
Second set
----------
CHAKVETA * *@*@* 6
POUTCHEK _*_____ 1
Anna won at 12:10 (second set 26m, match 56m) after at least one
deuce in her final service-game. They showed her match-point on BBC2,
but unfortunately I missed it as I wasn't watching or recording that
channel at the time - I just caught Anna walking to the net when I
quickly checked BBC2. :-(
She was completely ignored in _Today at Wimbledon_, for the simple
reason that there's no "ova" in her name. :-||

I hope to God that Anna v Michaëlla will be televised by the BBC!
Competitors for televisation at 11:00 will be Henin v Vesnina (Court
2) and Schnyder v Alyona Bondarenko (Court 18). Otherwise it's just
doubles everywhere (and no Britons first up!).
Both of Michaëlla's matches so far have been televised by the BBC.
She's playing very well, and the commentators are talking about her
like they expect her to reach the second week. But they have not
acknowledged the existence of Anna Chakvetadze!
