Wimbledon Day 2 - Ladies

Serena Williams talks during a press conference.

Oh my gosh I keep forgetting to publish my women's previews!!! I press "Save" but not "Publish"... Anyways delayed predictions like yesterday... Serena Williams opens her title defense today against Mandy Minella of Luxembourg. Minella should be overmatched against Williams' sheer power. Agnieszka Radwanska will try to reproduce some Wimbledon magic that took her to the final last year against Yvonne Meusburger in the first round. Samantha Stosur looks to turn around her Wimbledon woes against 18 year old Anna Karolina Schmiedlova. Bethanie Mattek-Sands will try to upset last year's Wimbledon semifinalist Angelique Kerber. She will come out on court with some electric hair, but no Google Glass. Li Na also faces Michaella Krajicek, who is coming back from injury, while Heather Watson, Laura Robson, and Tara Moore look to keep alive British hopes on the womens' side.
