Wimbledon report card

A+: Serena Williams

Slam number 14 at age 30. A true remarkable feat.

A: Agnieszka Radwanska

First slam semi-finals, first slam finals. Gave a good account of herself in the finals.

A-: Yaroslava Shvedova

Golden set against Sara Errani. Gave Serena a scare in her 4th round match.

B+: Victoria Azarenka

Demolished Ana Ivanovic and kept the scoreline close despite facing Serverena.

B-: Angelique Kerber

Another semi-finals, clean tennis against Kim Clijsters. But faltered badly against Radwanska.

C+: Zheng Jie

Pocket rocket gave Serena a good workout.

C: Sabine Lisicki

Upset Maria Sharapova. But unable to back it up.

C-: Tamira Paszek

A good run after dispatching Wozniacki and winning Eastbourne.

D: Petra Kvitova

Failed to defend her title, but losing to eventual champion isn't something to be ashamed of.

E: Kim Clijsters; Maria Sharapova

Kim: Just wasn't there in her fourth round match. A sad way to end her career in Wimbledon.
Maria: A wide open path the the finals and she screws it up. Disappointing.

F: Venus Williams; Li Na; Caroline Wozniacki

Venus: Ok, she's injured/sick... Sad to see her struggling.
Li: Shameful loss to Cirstea. Otherwise, she would have reached the semi-finals at least. Another brain-fart moment from Li.
Caroline: Showed the door again facing someone who overpowered her. Can't blame her though. She is making changes to her game, the results will not be immediate.
