remendous effort by Laura Robson but it all slipped away in the end. The 15-year-old double-faults on the last point to give Daniela Hantuchova a 3-6 6-4 6-2 win. Robbo will be back to defend her junior crown next week."A fair few sleepy heads on Henman Hill but the gaggle of Yen-Hsun Lu fans are in full voice as their man takes on Roger Federer."Ah well, was fun while it lasted no? Laura Robson all of a sudden 5-2 down against Daniela Hantuchova...Hmmm. Not much support for the Fed jacket so far (see 1344). For what it's worth, the man himself says: "I love that it's more contemporary whilst still looking clean and sophisticated." Righto, Rog. Sharapova has pegged Kutuzova back to 5-4 on Court One. Hantuchova leads Robson 3-2 with serve in the decider on Court Two. Bad news for Becky (see text below), James Blake is now two sets down against Andreas Seppi. Bit of a poor effort by the Queen's finalist, if you ask me.
From Piers Newbery on Twitter: "Great battle building on Court 12 between Almagro and Monaco, who gets a big cheer for a 'hotdog' winner. "Vamos!" Crowd are loving it."
As promised, here's Fed's Sergeant Pepper-inspired get-up. Laura Robson and Daniela Hantuchova are still on serve in the decider, the Slovak leading 2-1. Maria Sharapova is now 5-3 down against Viktoriya Kutuzova.
1337: It's a race between the unlikely figures of Philipp Kohlschreiber and Marc Gicquel for the first winner in the men's singles in 2009... and Gicquel takes it, beating Adrian Mannarino 6-2 6-2 6-4. And that's probably the last time Gicquel will get a mention on these pages.

"Here is Miss Dixon in all her lithe glory (see 1119). Intense and electrifying indeed. What you can't see just out of shot is me (her mixed doubles partner) poised like a cobra at the net. Can't say I approve of her outfit though, wouldn't see her get within a country mile of playing on Centre Court."Potential upset o'clock over on Court Three where Italian Andreas Seppi has nicked the first set against 17th seed James Blake. Having said that, Blake has a pretty shocking Wimbledon record, and has never got past the third round. With serve in the second set of Robbo v Hantuchova at 2-1 to the Slovak.
