The weather at the 2007 Championships at Wimbledon held up on Tuesday, allowing second seed Maria Sharapova and third seed Jelena Jankovic to progress to the second round with straight sets wins.
2006 defending champion Amelie Mauresmo also advanced, along with Svetlana Kuznetsova and Venus Williams. The AELTC had an ambitious schedule for Tuesday, and although twenty-nine ladies singles matches were completed, twenty matches were postponed, including sixth seed Ana Ivanovic’s opening match against Melinda Czink.
