LONDON (Reuters)- Pamumunuan nina Novak Djokovic, Andy Murray at Serena Williams ang cast ng fresh-faced hopefuls sa Wimbledon sa ikalawang linggo na magiging Federer-free zone sa unang pagkakataon matapos ang 11 taon.
Ang ikalawang linggo na sinasabing back-to-back blockbuster matches kung saan si Murray, kapwa nawala na sa kontensiyon sina seven-times champion Roger Federer at 2008 at 2010 winner na si Rafa Nadal, ay dadaan sa matinding pagsubok matapos ang ‘di makakalimutang kampanya sa nakaraang linggo.
Nawala na sa torneo sina Federer, Nadal, Maria Sharapova at Victoria Azarenka, ang lahat ay dating No. 1, pawang grand slam champions at napasakamay na nila ang sariling 35 major trophies.
Ang ikalawang linggo ng line-up ay kinapalooban ng mga karakter sa All England Club na inaasahan lamang na may supporting role sa torneo subalit nakausad sa last-16.
Sina French duo Kenny de Schepper at Adrian Mannarino, Poland’s Jerzy Janowicz, Italy’s Karin Knapp at Puerto Rican Monica Puig na nasa labas ng ranggo sa world’s top 20 ay ‘di pa nagwawagi sa main-tour title at ‘di rin nakatutuntong sa fourth round sa major.
Ang kasarapan, naibulsa nila ang pinakamalaking tseke sa halagang $159,000, matapos ang mga naging distruksion sa field sa grass court major.
“It’s good for change in a way because top players are always expected to reach the final stages of major events. When it doesn’t happen, it’s a big surprise,” pahayag ni Djokovic sa reporters.
“It’s a bit (of a) strange feeling not to have Federer or Nadal at the second week of a major. In the last 10 years, it was always one of them. But there’s some (other) players who have been playing great tennis. I think it’s interesting also to see new faces for the crowd, for (the) tennis world in general.”
